Priceline.com Frontend Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

I sent in my application and heard back about the role. Then I had a technical chat with a lead frontend dev where we talked shop and then I did some coding on jsfiddle and solved one quick coding problem. They then flew me in for an in-person interview and put me up in a hotel since I'm from out of town. The in-person part had three rounds: two with groups of developers and the last with a product manager. I had to solve three coding problems focused on strings and JS objects/JSON. The interview really dug into JavaScript specifics, more than usual for a front end role, but it wasn't too hard. Everyone was nice and I took their offer.

I applied online and a recruiter hit me up through email. We did a phone screen but honestly, they didn't really check my Javascript skills well. After that chat, which was friendly but not really technical, they set up an in-person interview. The whole gig is basically Javascript. They mentioned they're using a new stack with node.js and angular, moving on from JSP. It was kind of unprofessional having to take PTO for the on-site when they could've figured out my JS level over the phone. If you have node.js on your resume, they'll dig into that, and same for angular. If you don't get the offer, and you value your PTO, you basically paid out of pocket for it since they could have done a better job on the initial phone screen.

I put in my application on the website. A bit over a month later, I was sent an online test that I didn't have to do. They said that if I took the test, my interview process would be faster, but if not, I would have to wait longer, but I would still advance. I decided to do the test. It had six questions and I had one hour to complete them. Three were multiple choice, and three were coding questions. The coding questions were: array filter, build constructor, and array change.
