Round one phone interview with HR (always so useful)! Round two was an assignment asked to be done in 2 hours and all work checked in to a GitHub repo. Round three was a tech phone interview with the lead to discuss the assignment. Round four they flew me out to San Francisco to have 5 1-hr sessions with the 5 iOS devs including the lead at the end. These hours each focussed on different aspects of mobile app development including a proposed model for the news feed portion, uicollectionviewcell performance issues, extending the assignment to build out a tabbar based app, writing an ApiManager and discussions around generics, the “waterfall” algorithm question (with some arrogant British guy who was disgruntled that he wasn’t the lead dev), the whiteboard was cleverly taken out of the room near the end, then an awkward final 10 min interview leaving me with many questions about how I did, though did realize I failed after some comments about competition etc.!

Starts with a phone interview with the HR, talking about your experience and background. Which later on leads to providing recent code examples (Github, coding challenges, etc). After that, they schedule you for a phone screen with an engineering manager which asks you some questions over the phone. I suspect later on is an on-site interview but since I haven’t got that far I wouldn’t know. I do want to add that even though I answered the phone screen questions with full marks (the manager was like “correct, correct, correct...”), I still got a “we’re moving on with better candidates” declining email without further explanation, which lets you question the companys’ standards on screening out people.
