April 1, 2025
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

  1. Tech screen with another engineer where they ask you a programming question along with background questions.

  2. Take-home assignment (explained in detail below).

  3. On-site interview (I didn't pass the previous stage).

Questions

The take-home is a mobile application. You are given a URL to fetch a list of items. The time limit is 4 hours.

Your task is to display the items in a list and allow users to view the details of each item. The application should also work offline.

There is one requirement that may be unclear: the possibility of future pagination. This suggests making design decisions with future scalability in mind.

Additionally, a settings screen is required to specify the sort order based on two different data features.

Bonus features include:

  • Comparing two or more items at a glance.
  • A placeholder for a company logo.
  • Providing search functionality.

It is assumed that unit and/or UI tests should also be written.
