45 min phone call followed by take home coding assignment, rejected with no feedback after spending several days on the task. Interviewer couldn't stop talking about himself and selling the company HARD. It was difficult to get a word in and ask my own questions. Overall the conversation was actually pleasant, friendly, and we joked a bit, but it felt like I was talking to a pushy salesperson the whole time. I was given a take home coding assignment that involved working on an already established code base. A very simple iOS app that fetched and displayed medical tweets using Twitters api. A few tasks were set out for me to complete: 1. Fix layout of tweet content. Make adjustments in the provided xib using auto layout. Apply text and colour changes. 2. Fix jittery scroll of tweets. - Images were being downloaded on main thread. 3. Fix date formatting and write unit tests for them. 4. Highlight user mentions within the tweet body text. - These are provided by the Twitter API, so all you have to do is grab the ranges of those strings and highlight them using an attributed string. 5. Allow users to favourite tweets. 6. Perform a code review of the remaining code. List any changes you'd make to the code base if it were yours (providing you haven't already made those changes). I completed the task, handed it back and received a very generic rejection email. The code in the project wasn't too bad, so performing a code review was pretty straightforward. It did have 4 dependencies linked in with Cocoapods that was complete overkill for a project of this size (two screens). Alamofire, Result, Nimble and Quick. The overall experience was completely fine right up until I got that email. I followed up asking for feedback and was told that they don't give feedback. Well, whenever I've been in the position to hire devs, I always gave feedback on code assignments, whether they got the job or not. Their time is valuable, they're not a commodity, they're a person. If a company doesn't respect your time during the interview process, then they won't respect you if you start working there. Expect long hours, demanding work, and overbearing managers. Stay away from this company at all costs.
