      Senior Backend Engineer Interview

      Dec 10, 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Remote
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mapbox (Remote) in Feb 2022

      Interview

      Reached out by HR via email. It took about a month to finish the whole process. - Initial HR chat. Mentioned that they use mostly JS for backend work but the interview process is language-agnostic. - Take home project, took about 4-6 hours to finish. In brief, build some APIs by using JS on a template to pass pre-built testcases. - Final interview, including technical and behavioral. Take 4 hours. 1hr each. Provided some sample behavioral questions to prepare. Being rejected. Mostly because of my lack of experience with JS. Interviewers are confused about why I don't have experience on it. Some questions are arrogant. Based on the time it took, I highly recommend people NOT to interview their open positions.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I'll write down some sample behavior questions they provided. Also, they highly recommend to answer them with STAR method. Scope of Influence: Build Trust, Always be Growing, Be Bold, Disagree and Commit - Disagreeing with your peers or Manager - Have you ever not been able to meet a commitment with a customer/teammate? - How do you look for possible roadblocks within a team setting while working on a project? Do you look 2-4 steps ahead while focusing on your current tasks? Deliver Results: Customer Focus, Growth, Ownership, and Bias for Action - Deal with a difficult customer - What type of obstacles have you overcome during a project or when working towards an important goal? - Have you ever failed before? If so, what was the failure? What did you learn? - Have you taken on something outside of your normal day to day responsibilities?
