      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at XBOW (Meridian, ID) in Nov 2025

      Interview

      Talked with the recruiter at first, just basic things about how long I've been programming. Then talked to Andy Rice, their head of Engineering. That discussion went well, I felt like we shared a lot of the same values and opinions on software engineering. Next I had a coding interview with 2 gentlemen. I had (incorrectly) assumed that I would be coding on one of the many live coding platforms out there (since I have done only 1 coding exercise with my local IDE). They asked me to start a new Node.js project, which honestly I have only done a couple times and it had been a while, so I fumbled around a little and then asked if I could code within an existing project I had to make it easy. They asked questions about how to determine if a page on a website is public or not, we covered a few different ways but they were pushing in a particular direction, that didn't make sense at first but then later in the exercise it made more sense. They they asked me to write code to fetch web pages in Typescript, which most people (including myself) have never done. So I fumbled around on Google and Typescript docs, but there were different libraries mentioned in the Google hits. I coded some stuff up but it didn't look like it would work, but they kept asking me to "run it and see", but I hadn't set up anything to run it command line (and couldn't remember how). We ran out of time and the interview ended.
