Verbal+Visual Interview Questions
& Process

I had a minimum of 3 interviews and possibly a chat with the CEO if I got past everything. My first two chats went well, or so I thought. Looking back, the relaxed vibe I got from the second person interviewing me was probably because they'd already decided. Whatever I said, there'd be a pause, and they'd try to connect with it rather than keeping the conversation moving.

This was a waste of time. They sent me a 2-hour css code challenge before wanting to set up an appointment to speak with anyone. The code challenge was frustrating because the mockups were videos to demonstrate how the css works and a color palette. There was no static mockup to get details such as sizing and you had to waste time figuring out the color palette because there were no labels on which color corresponded to which part. They also instructed me to fork it from GitHub. From the forks, I could see how many people they had sent it to and potentially just copy answers. Then, at the virtual meeting with them, they don't even discuss the code challenge. So there was really no point to the homework at all. Speaking with them, it was clear this was a front end dev role where they also wanted the person to be a designer on the fly.

The first step was an in-person chat with someone non-technical where I got to talk about my background and what I'm into. Then, I went back to their office to meet the CEO and CTO. This part was pretty chill; I showed off a project I did, explaining how it works and the tech I used. The CTO then went into detail about how they develop their projects, and the CEO asked a few questions.

I was first put in touch with the company and we met in person. After that, I met some of the team members. In the interview, I presented my portfolio and then talked about my goals, background, and interests. It seemed like a place where they're invested in my personal growth and priorities.
