Uber, Google, and LinkedIn frontend interview tips
I have onsite interviews coming up soon. Any tips?
Uber will be all over the map, highly team dependent. I was asked to build a spread sheet type UI in JS on a whiteboard 🤦♂️it worked out alright. I also had to create a generic "memoize" function. Know your closures, functional programming (map, reduce, first class functions), and async and you should do alright as far as JS goes.
I see. I was focusing more on building UI widgets with css, html, and JS. So I guess keep on doing that?
Yep, lots of Node stuff, async, functional programming. My interviewer was impressed by opinions on various Promise specs. You will also have to build something on a laptop, so using whatever tools you want correctly is a plus.
Cool. Thanks for the info. I am assuming this is for onsite. What about phone screen? Are questions pretty similar to onsite?
GOOG barely asks anything fe related other than like a js question or two. like traverse the dom. i had normal sys design (distributed systems). everything else was algo/ds. i am not FE, GOOG just asked me to interview as FE so ymmv
Seems like Google and Facebook want generalist even if I am going for FE role. I will spend more time on leetcode. Thanks
