I applied online. I interviewed at Pluralsight (Raleigh, NC) in Mar 2021
Interview
I initially applied via Easy-Apply on Linkedin. The hiring manager reached out and directed me to their Workday application portal. After filling out the Workday application, I was contacted by a recruiter who sent me a short code test. After completing the code test, there were 2 virtual on-site interviews.
The first was a technical interview where I brought in a code sample, and talked about architecture and design decisions. We looked at the code, then at the deployed app, and talked about features, user requests, and scaling challenges. We then went over some decisions I made in the coding test, and ended with a Q/A.
The second interview was a more traditional interview with the manager and a Tech lead where we discussed past challenges, and talked about how I might fit in with how the team works.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you respond to a feature request with a clearly unreasonable timeline?
When have you received negative feedback, and how did you handle it?
If you had to scale an app from 100 active users to 10,000 active users, what are some steps you would take?
The interview process will be easy if you have the right mindset to learn
Basically this is culture centric company, So it is very rare they ask any coding questions but be prepared for it to the basic level
