FareHarbor Interview Questions
& Process

The whole thing took about eight weeks from when I applied until I got the offer, mainly because of the holidays. It started with a quick 30-minute chat with the recruiter. After that, I had a 60-minute talk with the hiring manager. The last part was three separate 30-minute interviews with people I'd be working with from different teams and some future colleagues. Everyone was really great - respectful, prepared, and asked good questions that actually mattered. They kept me in the loop and told me what to expect. My recruiter was awesome; she always let me know what was happening, gave me tips on how to get ready, and made sure I had all the info I needed. I never felt out of the loop.

I applied for a Frontend Developer job. About a week later, I got an invitation for a screening call. They had to reschedule the call last minute, which was a bit inconvenient, but I managed. The call itself felt hurried and I didn’t get a clear picture of the job or the team. After that, I proceeded to a second-round technical interview where I had to solve a JavaScript problem. I later followed up about the timeline. A few days later, an automated rejection email arrived without any specific feedback. Having gone through two interview rounds, the lack of personal communication was disappointing and didn’t create a good impression.

The interview process consisted of 4 interviews: a React Challenge, a Python Leetcode (Hard difficulty), a Hiring Manager interview, and a System Design interview. The last two interviews were conducted at their office. The entire process took 4 weeks to complete. I noticed that despite reviews suggesting these interviews are more for screening talent than hiring, I proceeded through all stages. After completing all interviews, I received an email stating they were happy with me and would move forward. However, similar to many others, the final response was a generic 'we decided to continue with people that matched better' without specific feedback. This makes me think they don't align actual positions with requirements until the very end, causing candidates to waste time. The final interview felt unprofessional, with interviewers making statements like 'we are going to judge you' and laughing when I didn't provide their expected answer. They mentioned an 'interview done with Miro board,' but it was just verbal discussion and drawing on a whiteboard. I'd advise others not to waste their time here and to seek opportunities with similar pay and a better interview process. Have faith.

The process was overall positive and pretty simple. I saw the role advertised on LinkedIn then applied via their website. I was then contacted by the hiring manager that week to have an online screening interview. This was very straightforward and easy, she just asked me a few questions about my experience and what I'm looking for. However, she couldn't answer some of the questions I had about the role. I was then scheduled for an online interview with the Performance Marketing Project Coordinator for the US and a Senior Project Coordinator for APAC. They were both very friendly and it was a positive chat. They asked a lot of questions about my experience and skills relevant to the role. However, a few questions I had about the role were answered a little bit vaguely. I was then scheduled for another interview with more senior staff but I accepted another role from a different company. Overall a great experience, but a few things weren't 100% clear so I decided to go for another offer.
