Interview
I applied and was directly scheduled for a technical interview.
I hit 5 of the 14 Leadership Principles in the behavioral section. The question was easy, but just remember to explain yourself as you go no matter how obvious or quickly you can solve it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A single question about creating a form and a table below it to display what was entered. How would you optimize the table if there were 10,000 results

Interview
My timeline was very weird so I'll put it in bullet points:
- applied in July for an L4 position
- reached out to by a recruiter in August and was leveled up to an L5 position and was asked for interview availability for a phone screen round (30 min behavioral - 30 min tech)
- took 3 weeks to get my interview scheduled for the beginning of September: cruised through the coding problem and had a lot of chemistry with the interviewer
- a week after this interview I was told they were no longer hiring for the position and received no additional info
- next day, another recruiter calls me to schedule a virtual on-site for another team for an L4 role
- a week later I was told someone was hired before I could even schedule the interview
- a few days later I hear from another recruiter who wants to schedule me for a virtual on-site which we ended getting scheduled for 3 weeks after
- 2 interviews on day 1 and 2 more on day 2 as follows:
- interview 1 (30 min behavioral - 30 min tech)
- interview 2 (bar raiser - completely behavioral)
- interview 3 (30 min behavioral - 30 min tech)
- interview 4 (20 min behavioral - 40 min tech)
- heard back a week later that I waouldn't be getting an offer (first of November - insanely long process)
The bar raiser round was brutal because they grilled me with about 7 behavioral questions and 2-3 additional questions on top of each of those. If you have a round like this and don't come in with at least 15+ solid STAR stories prepared you're done for. I had to repeat answers across my interviews because I was told that 8 stories was more than enough. The tech questions were a breeze for me and they would be for any decent FEE because they were very focused on front end specific things. I definitely botched this because I didn't have enough stories for the behavioral portion and ended up repeating myself too much.
Difficult interview, but the experience wasn't the best because of the scheduling difficulties (I was very open and they still had trouble) and the fact that they don't give feedback.
I can give vague descriptions of interview questions.
