The HW apps are relatively simple; however, they use them as a springboard to ask bigger, more complex questions in their follow up. Basically, "if this HW app was 1000 times bigger, how would you handle X." For the React HW, they asked how I'd do global state management, caching strategies for maximizing efficiency, and how I'd further build out my tests. On the Rails side, we discussed testing and managing long queues with service workers. The in-person interviews were definitely the hardest part.

First round is just talking about your past experience, culture fit, and so on. Second round is working on a react app with an Apollo server, making updates to a boilerplate nonprofit mini app to surface some statistics.

A take-home interview question. This might be great for some, but I really did not like it and did not perform well. I was sent a pdf and given two hours to code. There just didn't seem to be enough time to really nail it down. I would feel comfortable saying the prompt was vague and the process was not really fleshed out. I had to annotate a grid and then look at examples of tests they gave (in doc format -- not yaml, json etc -- mind you) to understand what it was even asking. When you interview I'd suggest showing your coding skills in terms of project-structure and coding-style -- don't even worry about getting the problem right because it probably doesn't matter.
