A practical React frontend interview. 1st round with engineering manager, 2 rounds with senior engineers, and 1 last round with HR. The first and last round are behavioral. The two rounds in between are technical.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Coalition (Miami, FL) in Jan 2025
Interview
1. Recruiter Phone Screen
2. Live Coding Frontend Interview with an Engineer
Afterwards I do not have more knowledge of the process, as I did not pass this round. Ability to create rough frontend of a website within 30 minutes with React is highly recommended.
