      Senior Software Engineer (JavaScript) Interview

      8 Feb 2024
      Anonymous employee
      Amsterdam
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Elastic (Amsterdam) in Dec 2023

      Interview

      The entire process from referral to employed took less than a month which taking into account end of the year season and holidays is pretty impressive The entire process end to end for me was: - referral - intro HR screen - Technical interview (Javascript) - Technical deep dive into previous project - Technical interview (React) - Behavioral interview with the engineering manager - Offer - Very extensive background check - Start

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The hardest interview was behavioral. Most interviewees fail at that stage so prepare well. The questions are all standard and expected. JS interview was about a basic lodash like functionality implementation. React interview was about implementing a search functionality but the crux was about performance algo optimization via data appropriate structures. Both interviewers asked about time space complexity and both requested second attempt at improving your basic solution if not in code since little time will be left but in words. The deep dive was about picking some project from the past that you know good and diving deep into technical and architectural aspects testing your general understanding of how things work together.

      Anonymous employee
      Saratoga Springs, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Elastic (Saratoga Springs, NY) in July 2016

      Interview

      The interview process consisted of around 9 30 - 60 minute interviews, spread over a couple months. There was an online technical interview, a high level technical interview, a 'watch while you code' technical interview, and many 'meet n greet' type interviews. Overall it was a great experience and I am very excited to join the team!
