I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at OpenSea in Jun 2023
Interview
Applied online 1. Initial recruiter phone call 2. Technical screen - React Coding 3. 1/2 day of interviews including - System Design: Build a DB that fetches from the blockchain - React Coding: Build a form with client-side validation - Coding: Build a tic-tac-toe game - Behavioral 2 of the 4 interviews (system design and coding) were backend focused. When I mentioned to the system design interviewer that I was interviewing for a frontend position, he didn't care. He said, "lets just pretend you are a backend engineer" and proceeded with his questions. Everyone else was nice. I was expecting all interviews to be front-end focused.

Interview
Applied online 1. Initial recruiter phone call 2. Technical screen that was more Javascript function based to solve an algorithm-type question. 3. 1/2 day of interviews including - React coding question - Behavioral asking about work experience - Javascript class-based question - System design interview I ended up not getting the offer because: 1. Didn't ask clarifying questions on requirements (fair criticism) 2. Didn't cover enough edge cases in Javascript classes (in a 45 min interview, I was rushing to remember how to do classes + just get it done) 3. I was expected to know more about backend/infrastructure from a system design perspective. It was to build a retry job system (DB, queue, infra) which was odd considering this was for a frontend role. The people were extremely nice all the way through, I just think some of their questions were not completely relevant to being a frontend focused engineer in 2023.
