I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tinder in Nov 2021
Interview
Overall pretty good experience. The entire interview process took about a month as there were 3 rounds of interviews.
The first being technical zoom call where I was asked a medium level hacker rank question, and this interview lasted 1 hour.
The second interview was about 4 hours long where I was given a project to complete and at the end there was a code review with 2 other iOS developers from the company.
And the last interview was an hour long chat with the team that I was joining. So I was able to speak with the Manager as well as 3 current developers on the team. This was the most relaxed part of the entire interview progress, most just behavioral questions here.

I was given a document mentioning a few required features and rest was unto me on what extra to add. met 3 different senior developers who keep checking on you to provide any small feedback or answer any questions. finally, there will be 45mins at the end for them to assess your entire app and ask questions on why you went with a certain architecture or why you wrote a certain function like you did. Give weightage to write good testable code.
