how much, if any, white boarding do you have the interviewee do for a front end junior position? And what are you looking for - memorization of common problems/solutions? ability to think through problem? something else?
As someone who has pretty poor memorization and does poor on tests in general - this portion of interviewing gives me the most anxiety.
Our goal is to test like you work, so you have an IDE, access to Google and StackOverflow, and when we ask you to implement an algorithm (like QuickSort) we link to the Wikipedia page in the instructions.
We've found that the ability to memorize is basically useless is identifying good candidates, but the ability to implement when given proper instructions is really valuable.
Pretty much every company you've heard of uses a similar technical phone screen -> onsite with whiteboarding process. If you're not somewhat proficient at them, you're greatly limiting yourself.
