Questions
Write code to extract all custom views from a view that contains both custom and default subviews, excluding all Apple-provided subviews (like UIView, UILabel, UIImageView, etc.).
Regarding view.subviews, does this retrieve all layers of subviews or only a single layer?
Given a custom class with a .h file:
objc @interface CustomClass : NSObject @property (atomic, readonly) NSArray *array;
- (void)addObject:(NSString *)object; @end
Write the .m implementation for the addObject operation. Also, address the following questions:
- What is a property?
- What is the difference between
atomicandnonatomic? - What is the purpose of
readonlyin a property?

Booking.com Work Experiences
- 1.0High Salary, Big Name, But Fake Culture and ValuesiOS Developer • Former EmployeeAmsterdam, NetherlandsDecember 17, 2016Pros: - Highest salary in the Netherlands. - Work with highly skilled engineers.Cons: My impression was that they don't tolerate people who are different. I know a lot of people say that it's a supportive environment, but in my case, it wasn't. They advertise that the company is against favoritism, but in practice, two people who committed the same kinds of mistakes are treated in vastly different ways, depending on whether they are liked or not. Gossiping and being mean is the norm. In general, I felt miserable while working there.
- 1.0Not worth it. Very stressful and outdated technologiesiOS Developer • Former EmployeeAmsterdam, North Holland, NetherlandsJuly 7, 2018Pros: Fine lunches. A big and nice office.Cons: Very outdated technologies. The principal and senior developers don't use Swift. All is done with 10-year-old technologies. The manager and principal intimidate all the time. Very political. I worked on an important system, and senior devs just stopped development because they didn't want competition. I found another job and now sleep well. Be careful, because you will be working on very old and outdated technologies with updates. Some seniors don't develop at all; they control other developers and play political games, such as implementing different policies and holding tons of meetings.
- 4.0Pretty good work/life balanceiOS Developer • Current EmployeeShanghai, Shanghai, ChinaJuly 22, 2018Pros: Being a remote office of a Europe-based company, the culture here values work-life balance a lot.Cons: Shanghai's a remote office, so there are certain limitations.
