      Senior Front-End Engineer Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Autodesk

      Interview

      The hiring manager reached out to me about the role and referred me to a recruiter after we discussed my experience and skills. The recruiter discussed salary expectations and that there would be a take-home programming assessment. Communicating with the recruiter was difficult due to ambiguous language and email delivery problems on their end. Overall, it took a lot of effort to get the information I needed from them. The take-home assessment was a "spec" to add certain behaviors to the provided HTML extracted from the product. The five-page spec was sprawling, poorly organized, and didn't provide instructions for submission. The assessment materials were outdated (e.g. jQuery 1.x) and set up in a way that required a lot of effort to run (e.g. cross-domain issues, non-CORS API, problems with the provided CSS). I was motivated to write this review after waiting two weeks for an update only to have the recruiter give me the run-around to set up a call later in the week to personally give me a blanket statement about why I didn't get picked. In retrospect, there were a lot of red flags.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Highlights from the assessment: • Write a widget/stats card using HTML/JS/CSS that shows up when hovering over user’s screen name. • We are looking for a demonstration that you can develop to a spec and design as well as write readable and modular code. • You can use any framework of your choice or vanilla JavaScript. We are mostly interested in seeing clean code that’s readable, modular and demonstrates a grasp of MVC.
