      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Side (West Des Moines, IA) in Aug 2021

      Interview

      Take Home Assessment to judge real life skills. Allows you to do a small chunk of work to demonstrate what you can do instead of relying on algorithms questions or general brain teasers. After the technical assessment you have a (virtual) onsite to judge the breadth of your knowledge that includes a pair programming exercise where you work with someone from Side to add a feature to your takehome. One of my favorite interviews yet!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Takehome assessment involved creating a listing page that pulled information from an API. The onsite included questions ranging from project management, productionification of an app, general js questions, peer programming against the takehome, and system design. They were very explicit that you aren't expected to be able to excel in all of these areas, but they like to get a sense of your general knowledge.
