The interview process was pretty straight forward. I had an initial call with the VP of Engineering. This involved getting to learn about Newfront as well as the position I was applying for. The second call was a technical interview with one of the Software Engineers at the company. This consisted mostly of a coding problem and maybe one or two behavioral questions. Afterwards it was opened up for me to answer any questions I wished about the engineering at Newfront. The last step was to come on-site. Up until this point, the interview process had been pretty standard from what I'd seen at other companies. Newfront is different, however, in that you participate in a project-based interview. This involves sitting down in front of a computer and given a feature to implement on the Newfront website. I preferred this as it really played to my strengths. When I first arrived, I was taken into a conference room with two of the engineers where I was given a slide -deck overview of Newfront and the product they are creating. This was cool as it eased me into the day. Afterwards, you're given a full stack problem that involved implementing features on both the front and back end. The time frame for this was approximately 6 hours or so (along with an hour for lunch.) Afterwards, you spend an hour in a conference room with the CTO and a few engineers and talk through the project. This is perhaps the most nerve wracking aspect of the interview as you are asked questions about scaling, further optimization, and pros/cons of your solution. I think at this point they're trying to understand how much you know and how much you don't. Understandable and expected. The tail end of this was a 1:1 with the CTO where you got to overview the day and ask any remaining questions. I really enjoyed this interview. It felt meaningful. You got to work on a real-world project and talk through the pros/cons of it with the engineers you'd been chatting/working with during the day. Lunch was great as well. It gave me a chance to get to know a number of the people I might potentially be working with in the future. Same with them getting to know me. Overall, the interview process was great. It was very long, going from 9:15am til close to 6pm. Very much a full day of "being on". But, in the end I preferred it over the more traditional style interviews I had encountered at other companies. I got to sit in the office for a full day, meet the people I might be working with, and just in general get a feel for the environment of the office I could potentially be sitting in for the foreseeable future. You don't get that at other places.
