I actually did not formally apply for this position. I was contacted by the head recruiter on LinkedIn. I was curious to see what was out there, so I replied with my resume. The initial phone interview went well. The first coding test they sent me was also quite easy. They told me they were looking for senior guys, so I assumed back-end coding would be a big part of the position. But about 10 minutes into the second interview with the lead developers, I realized that the live coding exercises we were doing were mostly centered around front-end technology. So I asked if this position was for front or back-end, and they replied they were seeking a front-end person. I told them that my background was mostly back-end (my resume lists all back-end accomplishments for my current position of five years) so I'm not sure how thoroughly my resume was looked at. Great set of guys, and they seem really smart, but I feel in my case, I was not properly matched to the position that was available. I wish them the best of luck on filling the position with a talented front-end developer, but that's not where the majority of my experience and interest is. This is especially frustrating for me, since this is my very first interview in over 5 years. I'm left feeling a bit stupid. To their credit, the idea of a live coding interview on google hangouts is pretty cool. One critique is that even though it's open-book, it effectively isn't because it is live and people are waiting for your answers. So I felt a bit pressured to give an answer right away without looking much up. They said people usually struggle on the first test and do well during this test. I felt it was exactly the opposite!
