I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Blend (San Francisco, CA) in July 2020
Interview
1. Interview with a recruiter who was very friendly
2. Interview with a senior engineer. Half personality/motives questions, half coding exercise
3. Onsite interview with 4 Engineers for a demo + three technical interviews along with meeting the hiring manager
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A System design question, a re-implementation of some native javascript modules, and a UI challenge.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Blend (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2021
Interview
- The process was very quick. Took me less than 2 weeks for everything.
- The interviewer were very friendly and helpful. They communicate the question clearly and provide their complete attention to the interview.
- The interview questions were diverse since my role is a front-end role, which I like a lot since it provides me the chance to demonstrate my skill in multiple areas. (Algorithm round, React round, Javascript + design round, Behaviour round).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
NDA.
But a variety of basic and advanced javascript + React knowledge were asked
The coding round are similar to LeetCode questions, the React coding round is just implementing a UI component. (E.g: type ahead, tags input,...)
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Blend (San Francisco, CA) in June 2021
Interview
The interview has several rounds.
1. Product Demo
2. System Design
3. General Coding (Algorithms)
4. Behaviour
5. Casual Chat
6. Front end Coding
There is an hour break at noon for you to take a rest. The whole process takes almost a day (from 10 am to 4 pm).
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
For system design, they have a simpified question for front end interviewers. I have to calculate data size and make proper design with high availability.
For the general coding, they make me to design a function and data structures to implement targeted goals. It is not a simple question on leetcode that input and expected output is given, but the input and output both dependent on my side.
For the front end coding phase, they let me implement some simple functions on a page. I can use pure HTML/JavaScript or with the help of frameworks such as React.js.
