J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Airbnb en janv. 2024
Entretien
Recruiter reached out via email for an iOS engineering role. After an exploratory call, they scheduled a phone screen. The phone screen was an iOS-based question with a simple algorithm, quite practical, not very leetcode-y, which was good.
The virtual onsite consisted of 4 interviews:
- Practical iOS coding question where they provide you with an Xcode project and ask you to implement features. Straightforward, normal daily iOS tasks.
- An interview where they ask you about past projects. They ask you to prepare some visuals for reference.
- A systems design / architecture interview. They give you mocks for an iOS app and you talk through how to implement / design this on the client.
- An interview with both a designer and an engineer where they walk you through a Figma spec and you talk through the features, requirements, technical challenges. This was phrased like a hand-off meeting if you were to go and implement the feature after. Very different from other interviews but fun once you get into the flow of things.
Assuming those interviews go well, they then schedule 2 cultural / behavioral interviews for 30 min each as well as an interview with the hiring manager.
Then you get an offer! There was a little room for negotiation but not much, I think it really depends on how you do in the interview. Mine went well but not amazing, so I wasn't able to get much extra during negotiations.

Entrevista muito curta, prevista pra 15min mas acho que nem chegou a isso. Poucas perguntas e pouco espaço para o candidato falar sobre a sua experiência, nem a câmera a recrutadora ligou
1. HR screen
The HR asked about my experience and mentioned that their coding question is very difficult. So, we scheduled the first technical interview for two weeks later.
2. 1st technical interview
Just the coding question, no more self-intro and project dive.

Question 1
A Leetcode hard problem about maze, which could use BFS to resolve

Got an email from a recruiter 3 months after applying. 45 min coding assessment was the next round. You have to be flawless to pass this stage. I figured out the hardest part of the problem by myself but needed a hint for the other part. Wrote up the entire thing and didn't pass it. So unnatural.
