      Frontend Engineer Interview

      Aug 20, 2022
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Retool in Jul 2022

      Interview

      The hiring manager contacted me through email. Set up a video call with them to discuss the role. Moved on to a technical round with an engineer. Completed a coding exercise in React. Was then ghosted. The process and people were nice, but they ended it with no response.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The coding exercise involved building the UI for a photo app. Had to fetch the image data from an api, then display them. Then had to add "like" functionality.

      Frontend Engineer Interview

      Oct 18, 2022
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Retool in Sep 2022

      Interview

      Possibly the worst process I have ever been to. Then they have six hours of algorithmic interviews that are basically a bunch of leetcode hards. I managed to solve all the problems but it was just honestly like going through the SAT of coding. Zero joy, and this is reflected in the product — which btw had a great start. Silent engineers. No interaction. Zero interviews with designers. No PM. For a frontend role lmao I couldn’t even remember the engineers names or team. I have no idea if these engineers can write css, who is the team owner, and whether I want the role or not. It’s just a bunch of algorithm tech bros, so if you want that kind of environment, you found your fit. Or, they’re great to use as free algorithm training interview for other companies. Even if they had given me an offer, I would never work there. After six hours of interviews they wanted me to meet more interviews after I criticized them for not meeting people or even having enough time to state names. I simply cannot imagine working here. Also theyre not remote friendly but the entire process is conducted remotely. Lol

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      recruiter screen: they ask you dumb questions like tell me about your most complex project and are looking for technical intricacy to clear, so be sure to study that. use algorithm, performance optimization language. tech screen: one hour code test of a code sandbox api to fetch stuff for a photo and use a grid to display and add like functionality. And then filter results. Onsite: One “system design interview” that is a huge joke and involves making a list of cell calculating implementations, Implement kMeans (in Javascript lol), do a parsing printer, make some really complex tests run on an AST parsing library.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Retool in Sep 2022

      Interview

      Had 4 qs for debugging, in JS. As well as frontend building in react. Did not pass, mainly due to my own unpreparedness. But the questions were not too difficult.
