      Front End Developer Interview

      23 Mar 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Blue Apron (New York, NY) in Feb 2017

      Interview

      The phone screening, code pairing were fair enough. The in-person interview was with a couple of managers and developers. HR and the managers were professional and thorough. The developers that oversaw the coding questions were not. Coding, thinking out loud, presenting your train of thoughts is uncomfortable enough. However one developer made it worse correcting every typo, missing semicolons, unfinished conditions or for loops, as I was still typing them. Not telling me till towards the end that I was allowed to google anything I wanted. When I looked up the correct name of a string function, and got it straight from the search results, off an stackoverflow because that was enough to remind of its name. He scorned me for picking stackoverflow vs w3schools. The other developer was less than prepared. It was a multi-layered project, that cannot be completely developed in an interview, so I gave him the full algorithm, showing my code design and structure HTML/CSS/JS/OOP), without compiling. And again, I wasn't told until the end that I was expected to hand off a fully developed and running project.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Given two strings, reorder the characters in the first string so they match the order of the characters in the second one. So if the first string is "housse"and the second is “soup”, the result is “ssouhe”. Note the the letters that were not mentioned in the second string get attached at the end.

      Question 2

      Build the HTML/CSS/JS for a recipes filter.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Blue Apron in Jun 2015

      Interview

      I actually applied to this company twice. The first time was in June '15. I did a phone screen and a take-home coding test. I completed the test (which took over 8 hours to complete, unpaid) and I never heard back from their in-house recruiter. Seeing another job ad again for the same position months later, I called the same recruiter again and asked him about it. He asked me to complete another coding assignment but I told him I already did the first one, so I moved onto a technical screen with one of their developers. Did the screen, and I haven't heard from them again. I sent two follow-up emails since them, nothing. Not to mention that he forgot to call me during a phone screen and I had to call him. The technical recruiter at Blue Apron was an unprofessional, unprepared, and careless person. I think this reflects poorly on Blue Apron as a result, and I would NOT recommend anyone apply to them in the future.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They had me create an online game using one of their endpoints that matches meal descriptions to their corresponding pictures.
