The first part of the interview is a video code-pairing session. You need to know ECMA6 and promises very well. That's all the test is about. You get thirty minutes to solve three problems related to asynchronous requests and timeouts. There were so many issues with this test, though. First, these are terrible conditions to code under. Second, their own poorly written code was throwing so many JavaScript errors that the console was useless. Third, they included a function that was never used to solve the problems but consistently threw me off as I tried to figure out how to use it. Fourth, at the end of the session, the engineer admitted he didn't understand why the first problem was solved by solving the second and third problems, but that's just how it worked.
