The phone interview included a choice between a front-end question and an algorithm question, and I chose the front-end question. The interview was last Thursday, and I have not been informed of the results yet.
I encountered a common phone interview question about the AutoComplete widget. Here are the key points discussed:
- Design the system for the widget.
- Explain how to debounce.
- Describe how to fetch data and handle errors.
- Discuss how to handle data when the request order is disrupted.
- Explain what to do if the request is slow.
- Design the widget to support data beyond RESTful APIs.
Additionally, there were two other questions:
- Design a music playlist that allows multiple users to edit simultaneously.
- Answered a few small questions about JavaScript closures and implemented a comment list using CSS and vanilla JavaScript without recursion.
Thank you!
