Behavioral
This was a weird candidate experience with Tulip Retail. The interviewer started off by giving me negative feedback on my resume, which didn't make me feel welcome. They even brought up ageism, making me doubt their commitment to fairness. After only five minutes, it was obvious they weren't going to hire me. Their behavior was unprofessional, and I felt like my time was wasted. This interview was very different from others I've had, and I hope future candidates have a better experience.

Behavioral Technical Coding
I had a recruiter call where we talked about my background and experiences. Then I spoke with the hiring manager, and we also discussed my background and experiences. After that, I had a technical interview with two developers that lasted about an hour. I think I answered their questions correctly and even came up with an optimized solution. We also talked about my background and experiences during this time. I'm not sure why I didn't get the position, but I don't think it was due to my technical interviews since I went through the test cases correctly. I don't recommend applying here because the process is unclear, and it seems like they evaluate based on your experience rather than whether you pass the interview test cases.

Technical Coding Behavioral
After applying online, I was contacted by HR for an initial phone screen with some basic questions. This led to an invitation for the next round, which was a coding test. The coding test had 2 questions and an 80-minute time limit, focusing mainly on DS and Algos. Two days later, I was invited for the onsite interview, which included meetings with HR, two engineers, and then a lead or manager. The interviews with the developers involved discussing my front-end and back-end knowledge, and included a problem about generating excel column numbers. On the same day, I received an email for a final video conferencing call with the Manager and VP, which was a general 'getting to know each other' discussion. It was a really pleasant and respectful interview experience overall.

Coding Technical Behavioral
I applied online and after a few days, I got an email to set up a phone screen with HR. We discussed my background and the company culture. Then, I had to complete a HackerRank test with two programming questions. After that, I had an onsite interview. It included a session with HR, two developers, and a manager. The technical part started with an algorithm question about converting Roman numerals to integers and vice versa. I wasn't well-prepared for this and didn't do great. Following that, they asked iOS-specific questions about strong/weak references and memory management, which I knew well. A few days later, I received a rejection, which was disappointing, especially since they focused on the algorithm question for an iOS role and didn't even ask me to write any iOS code.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- Can you write a program to convert between Roman numerals and integers?
- Could you explain the difference between strong and weak references?
- How does memory management work in iOS?
