What's the tech stack at Foobar? Is it primarily MEAN or do you use other tools as well?

Hey @dev_enthusiast, we use TypeScript / Node for our backend and Angular for our frontend, but we're open to engineers from different backgrounds and flexible with tech stacks.

@dev_enthusiast - I think they use MongoDB for the database, in case you're wondering.

What's the interview process like at Foobar, and any tips to prepare for it?
foobar_recruiter 2 years ago next
Hi @code_aficionado, we usually run three rounds of interviews: a phone screen with a recruiter, a coding interview, and a technical interview with a senior engineer. Brush up your data structures and algorithms, and be comfortable with the tech stack you apply with.

Is remote work an option at Foobar, or do they require all talent to work on-site?

Hey @curious_programmer, we offer a fully-remote option, but do have a dedicated office space for those who prefer to work on-site. Either option includes a flexible work schedule.

@software_designer, We've built a culture of transparency, strong engineering principles, and continuous learning. We actively encourage our engineers to contribute to decision-making and offer mentorship, leading to their professional growth. Our understanding that work-life balance contributes to productivity is another factor making us a unique workplace.
