I appeared for an interview in Aug 2024.

Round 1 - Assignment 

This was a Take Home test. I got a coding assignment where in I had to make a simple iOS app which can fetch data from an API and display it as a list on the screen. I used SwiftUI as its faster to code there. It was not complicated at all if you know youur stuff and they asked me to include tests (both Unit and UI). I already had my code snippets ready (for example for a Network class) so I could write a lot more code quite easily. It was taken on Hackerrank and I had 120mins to complete it. I read the instructions carefully and did as asked. I added comments to everything and made it extremely neat and structured using all the best coding practices of a large scale iOS project. Submitted it and that was it.

Round 2 - Coding Test 

This was a discussion of my assignment. Take Home Follow Up. It was taken by an SDE 3 from US and he asked all sorts of questions about my code. I explained everything in great detail and told him what all things I would do better if i had more time. Simple round. Be ready to explain everything, every word and line.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Having a relaxed and confident style of talking helped me a lot. I was concise, made some jokes here and there, communicated my thought process clearly in good fluent English.

Be nice to your recruiter. They will help you push your profile at every step of the way. And they will get you your final offer. Save their number and even if things dont work out, they often call the same candidates again for new positions every quarter.
