Interview
I interviewed for a Sr. FE position at Float.
The interview process was easy and very transparent.
Step 1:
15 mins call with recruiter
Step 2:
1 hour call with Hiring Manager where they discussed my experience, past projects etc
Step 3:
Technical Coding interview with a staff engineer
They gave me a very generic, control flow coding question. It was re-factoring a function to make it more scalable, and readable. Also added additional feature on top of it.
No prior practice is needed. If you code everyday and keep your calm and talk out your approach with interviewer, it is easy and evaluates your design/re-factoring skills
Step 4: Interview with team member and Engineering Manager
Both interviews focus on your skill set, past experience. They told me about the team, the project, the company and see if this is something I'd be excited to do.
Step 5: 30 mins Call with CTO
Another talking round. This is your chance to learn more about the company goals, projections, roadmap etc
Step 6 -> OFFER :-)
All in all the experience was very smooth and exciting. I really loved meeting with everyone and felt really valued. The company's growth projections seems promising. If you'd like to make impact and excited about seeing an unparalleled growth, Float is for you!

Interview
Don't bother with the interviews. I breezed through all the technical challenges, got to the final cultural fit interview with the CTO. I was later told I didn't have the skills they were looking for, even though the Head Architect, Head of Engineering, Head of Product, a staff engineer and the hiring manager all gave me a strong hire in the technical rounds. Waste of time, generic rejection email too. I did tell them I would be working fully remote which they were OK with, I guess they didn't think I would actually make it through the process and just wanted to waste time, then thought better of it when I got to the end.

Interview
Interview process was thoughtful and enjoyable.
Started with a brief into call. The next two rounds focused on technical and behavioural aspects - but each conversation felt like a two way dialogue rather than a test, which is great.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Float (Toronto, ON)
Interview
1 interview with a manager then 2 easy practical technicals (1 frontend 1 backend). After that a call with the Head of Eng then the CTO. The CTO talked about himself for the first 15 minutes of the interview then mostly ignored my answers to questions so he could talk about his opinion on whatever he asked.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What's the project you're the most proud of? - This was asked in every non-technical interview.
