Process
Recruiter screen, then a tech assessment which was general LeetCode-style coding.
For onsite, there were 5 rounds. There was no LeetCode in the onsite interviews.
- 3 rounds were related to building a sample app from scratch. I was provided a verbal description.
- 1 round was system design, focused on iOS system design.
- The last round was behavioral.
Questions
Build an app from scratch. I was allowed to look into Apple's docs for syntax and implementation help from Stack Overflow.
