iHerb interview questions

Only facts at first. What was different comparing to other interview reports on this page: - Interviewers who don't want to interview are not forced to do this now. Not all interviewers arrived, but those who made it actually listened. - They are aware that Facebook, Google, Microsoft are better. What was confirmed by other reports: - Book questions, a lot of them. "React.js was first released in which year?" Not exactly this question, but very similar. - Elementary level algorithm to write a whatever-first-search of a directed graph. Basically a book question with 1 difference: anyone who knows basic algorithms will answer it. - They failed basic questions about the best coding practices Q: Do you perform code reviews? A: We don't need them, they are for junior developers. Q: Can you build the project in one step? A: We don't need this, we use micro services. My opinion after being interviewed with other companies. A typical onsite interview day at Amazon/Google/Microsoft is infinitely more enjoyable than 1 interview at iHerb. You know that Silicon Valley hiring process is criticized by a lot of people? I will tell you that the interview process at iHerb is worse. Yes, going through hard algorithm problems feels better than answering book questions from a company that rejects best coding practices.

Did a phone interview with HR. Went through basics such as my experience, info about the company/job, etc. The call went really well and was told that I will receive a call a week later. Never heard back. Two months later the same person contacts me on LinkedIn, presenting job opportunities and not knowing that we have spoken before.
