I was referred by a friend to apply for Newsela, and I applied for the Senior Software Engineer. After a week, I received an email from the Sr. Recruiter to schedule a call. During that call, we talked about my background and Salary Expectations. I received a follow-up email saying that Newsela wanted to move forward with the interview process. The interview process was divided into four parts. Meeting with Sr. Director of Engineering (Hiring Manager) - I talked about myself and my resume - Found out more about the team and the type of work we'd be working on - I was asked some fundamental JS question - Received a take-home exercise to complete in a week Technical / Code Exercise Review - Reviewed take-home exercise - Talked about my previous work and that led to more technical questions. - I was asked questions about accessibility, async /await, server-side, and cookies. Meeting with Hiring Manager (Behavioral) - Typical Behavioral questions Meeting with Product Manager (Behavioral) - Explained what the product manager did at the company and asked typical Behavioral questions Overall it was a pleasant experience. Everything flowed, and it was more of a conversation.
