      Frontend Engineer Interview

      10 Apr 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Rakuten (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2017

      Interview

      The recruiting manager, Mark, was by far the best part of the interview experience. Not only was he helpful and responsive all the way through the process, but he had also reached out to me for this position. After an interview I had done before didn't work out, I was contacted by Mark for this position because he left that I would be a better fit here. The first part of the interview was a take-home challenge that involved writing the front-end code for a given example API. The proceeding steps were: technical phone screen, and onsite visit. I actually accepted another position mid-interview so I was unable complete the full process with Ebates.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Please implement a single web page that includes HTML, CSS and JavaScript codes for a sample API with given search parameters and explained result attributes.
