The application process started with a Capture the Flag challenge. After finding the four flags, I received a take-home assessment. I completed the take-home assessment, which involved creating a recipe app. Unfortunately, I was rejected after submitting it, receiving a generic email. It seems like a boilerplate response because a friend who applied for a different role got the same email after their take-home. This makes me doubt if my code was actually reviewed. I suspect they use an AI to evaluate the code, which is ironic given they advise against using AI for the assessment. I'd suggest not wasting your time on this company's interview process, which seems excessively difficult for a company that likely treats employees as mere numbers.

Pretty negative experience. They start with an automated email distributing an unpaid take home project lasting 4-5 hours, and this is before a recruiting call. Meaning you have to complete a five hour unpaid project (that requires unit test coverage) before getting internal information to help you decide if it's a position you're interested in. I didn't even know if the salary range was in my target before completing the project (it was below my target). This was a clear red flag but I decided to proceed for the practice and got an invite to the next round where there were a couple key problems. First of all, they didn't include vital information on how I would need to have my environment prepared which made the interview very messy. Second, I hate to say this because it's not the individuals fault its the company, but the interviewer didn't really know the nuances of what they were questioning me on.

Technical Coding
I applied online and got a take-home test with no deadline. After finishing that, I had a phone screen with an iOS dev who reviewed my project, asked questions, and gave advice on how to improve it. Then came the technical interview where I talked with several iOS devs about Swift, architecture, UIKit, and communicating with UX. At the end of that interview, I got an offer. The whole experience was fast, respectful, and they clearly put a lot of effort into making it a good process.
