The interviewer was rude, argumentative, and overly confident in his technical skills (making several wrong assertions during the framework discussion). It was the first interview I've ever had to cut short out of disinterest in moving forward.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you design DB models with performance in mind?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Thinkful (New York, NY) in Apr 2019
Interview
1. A call with the recruiter about your resume, background, and why you want to join Thinkful, etc.
2. A take home assessment which they say it takes about 2 - 3 hours but really takes like 8+ hours. You have to modularize react code, connect data from an API, create a backend server, and implement testing (they ask you alot about it during the technical).
3. Technical interview consists of asking you about your take home, emphasis on testing portions, and asking you to write a function/method on the spot in the take home assessment. After that it's a system design question.

Question 1
Testing: What tests did you implement in the code and why?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Thinkful in Mar 2019
Interview
The interview process consisted of a phone screen, a take-home technical assessment, a follow-up video assessment, and a background/reference check. I spent the recommended amount of time on the take-home and was able to finish an imperfect MVP with a few basic tests. The follow-up assessment built on the take-home and involved answering questions from engineers at Thinkful including the VP of engineering.

Question 1
If you had to make sure this part of the UI was updated in real-time, how could you go about doing that?
