I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Jaguar Design Studio in July 2017
Interview
I applied through a connection I had at the company so my first step was an informational phone screen which also included some questions about my experience and about how I would approach some of the challenges that come up in the day-to-day work. Next I was told to complete and submit the coding challenge that can be found on their website. After this, I received feedback that I was a strong candidate and would be hearing about scheduling a technical interview within the next week.
After a week or so with no response, I followed up only to hear that all of the devs were currently out of the office for a big event/conference and they would contact me about scheduling once that was over. That was the last I heard from them. Additionally, I felt that some of the behavioral questions were trying to feel out whether a candidate would be ok with a high-stress/fast paced work environment for below market pay.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you perform in a high-stress/fast paced environment? (also said that many developers had left within a few months of starting the job and not to expect a Silicon Valley $80k salary)
I applied online. I interviewed at Jaguar Design Studio (Aptos, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
You have to know basic JavaScript to access the application via your browser console. Application includes an easy FizzBuzz type of code challenge which is submitted via GitHub pull request. Since it's a design studio, having solid typography and a little splash of color on your resume goes a long way. I had a group Skype interview with the Sr. Developer and Product Manager to discuss work style and expectations, a follow-up technical interview with Sr. Developer, then an on-site culture-fit interview with the President.
