Junior iOS Developer Interview Experience - Tokyo, Japan
Process
Applied for multiple departments through the official career website. Their replies are kind of slow, but acceptable. For one, I failed to even get an online code test. For another, I proceeded with an online code test. Back then, I was a junior without much background knowledge in this domain, so I failed. They sent a reject email a few days later. I am trying to apply again this year.
Questions
The code test was about handling strings.
