      Senior Fullstack Developer Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Loblaw Digital in Mar 2024

      Interview

      Their interview process seems to be give a window into the culture there, and it wasn't a good look. I was referred to a Senior Fullstack job by a senior manager there. I did an initial screening with the recruiter, then moved on to a call with the development manager for the product area. That call went well enough, they seem to be dealing with problems relating to offshore dev teams and want to move ownership in-house and nearshore teams going forward. They're a Java shop, and I don't have a lot of prod Java experience, which I was clear about from the outset. The development manager did not seem to be too concerned about this. I advanced to the technical interview stage. It was a verbatim Leetcode question which involved a Depth-First Tree Search. I didn't complete the answer in the timeframe (45 mins) but I did well enough to proceed. I was baffled as to why you would ask someone a coding question that involved recursion given how rarely that pattern would ever show up in real code. LOL, it's ecommerce. It was a panel of three developers. By the time I heard from the recruiter again, the role had been taken off the table - they wanted to replace the recently-departed engineering manager for the role before hiring for that role. There was a similar role in another product open, and inquired about that, but apparently my lack of Java was a no-go. I decided to cut my losses at this stage because it really seemed to be a total mess. No one really seemed to have a clear idea what was going on.
