iOS Developer Interview Experience - Irvine, California
Process
Started the interview process with their recruiter.
The process was pretty awkward, as the recruiter did not know what to ask, so they ended up sounding like a robot.
She would ask one question, then you would answer, but she never made a comment or asked for any clarification about your answer. She would abruptly move to the next random question.
It’s no wonder they are still trying to hire developers.

It isn’t just a job, it’s an entire lifestyle.Cons: I can’t think of any cons. Every day isn’t rainbows and sunshine, but I haven’t experienced any dealbreaker issues since I started with the company. Although, that’s fairly obvious since I’m still happily employed here.
