I went to the blitz interview that another reviewer spoke of (that he/she claimed was great but hey to each his/her own). The long process after a presentation, a written test, panel interviews and one to one interviews. I found it demotivating that companies just like this delude themselves into thinking they are getting the best candidates from this process. They really seemed to push the idea that they were a fun amazing company to work for which gave me the impression that they were treating this as 'you would be lucky to work for us' not a mutually beneficial hire. They also seemed to push the idea that they were more interested in how we think. As Maury would say, that is a lie. They cared exclusively about your skill not how you think or even your personality. The questions on the written exam where specific coding questions, such as 'how would you use jquery to cause alternating rows to different colors' and 'write a javascript function that accepts an unlimited number of args'. None of the questions they asked proposed a high level problem and to explain how you would solve it (which is the correct way to see how a candidate thinks). A page full of very specific bootstrap implementation questions should give that away. The panel interviews were worse. They googled javascript interview questions because those were the exact questions they asked which completely turned me off from this company. 'Explain javascript inheritance, what's the difference between null and undefined, what does position: absolute mean? what's the difference between two equal signs and three equal signs?'. During the inheritance question I went off into how prototypical inheritance differs from classical inheritance and they were completely lost. Realizing that I didn't want to work for front end developers that have no knowledge/caring of how backend languages and true OOP works. At that point I politely answered the rest of their questions and then grabbed my stuff and left before waiting to hear if I made it to the final round or not. The best part: Listening to all the remaining candidates talk about how they love macs and hate using windows and were telling each other that the company would probably be ok with them using a mac instead. Everyday Health uses ASP.NET/C#. Keep in mind one if not more of these people got hired.

Round 1: Technical interview with the Team Lead where he showed some javascript code and asked for the output without running it. Round2: F2F meeting with team where every one in the team met me individually and asked for the technical question related to front end technologies specially javascript. It was for around 3.5 hours
