It was a 45-minute hiring manager interview, mostly a project deep dive, behavioral questions, and one algorithm question that I only had to talk through out loud.
The project deep dive and the behavioral questions took up most of the time. The interview centered on my past project experience, mainly:
- A self-introduction, then talking through the project on my resume that I'm most satisfied with
- Which module I was mainly responsible for in that project, and how I worked with the team (including the PM and other teammates)
- What the release cadence and process looked like for the project
- If I could redo the existing product, what I would change
- What my biggest failure was, and how I followed up on it
- How I would approach performance optimization
- What happens after you type a URL into the browser, as detailed as possible
- LeetCode 49: talk through my approach out loud, and give the time and space complexity
Then I got to ask my own questions.
The interview experience was pretty negative. The interviewer never smiled the whole time and seemed to be in a really bad mood. Other than that it was fine. They told me on the spot that I would have a next round, and a day later I got an email following up about the next round.
