Process

The interview process was delightful. The recruiter took care of you at all steps of the way. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

Of all the companies I interviewed with, this is the only place where they don't ask data structure/algo questions just for the sake of it. All of the interview questions were wrapped in real-life case studies, which made them very interesting to solve. You still need to know your algo/ds, though.

The architecture questions were pretty standard compared to other companies.

The best part was the debugging interview, which I haven't encountered before. To solve this, you really need to know how iOS works, including UIKit, GCD, CoreAnimation, etc. I think other companies should definitely ask this question to gauge an engineer's experience instead of another binary tree problem.

The offer was actually really good, but I had another offer in a different field.

Definitely recommended.

Questions

Lots of logic problem solving, architecture, debugging, and culture.
