Senior iOS Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
June 1, 2024
Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
- Recruiter call (very friendly)
- Live coding session. Although the interviewer mentioned it would be data structures and algorithm-related, I was actually asked to implement a basic iOS app. If you know networking/UI basics, this should be easy; it took less than 20 minutes. The interviewer then asked a few questions here and there. Despite having completed what was asked, I was still rejected without any feedback. Perhaps what they look for is not just a working solution, and I wish the interviewer had explained their expectations clearly.
Questions
A basic iOS app that calls a REST service.
