Process
Recruiter screening call.
An email came to schedule the interviews a week later, but they weren't scheduled until over a month after that.
Three interviews in one day:
- Personality (standard)
- iOS development (just a medium-difficulty HackerRank question, but we used Swift)
- General software development (also a HackerRank-style question, oddly enough)
An NDA prevents sharing details beyond that.
Ghosted after that. Very long wait for such limited communication.
Questions
Solve two medium-difficulty HackerRank questions.
