I applied through other source. I interviewed at TribalScale
Interview
The interview process was a pleasure. The entire interview was pair programming, which was a great experience and the developers I worked with were great.
The in-house recruiter (who reached out to me on LinkedIn and was ultra responsive via email) did not reach out to me to let me know whether a got the job or not. Further to that, he did not even respond to a polite follow-up email sent to him the following week asking for updates on hiring process. I found this to be very unprofessional and discourteous. A surprising contrast to most everything else and it really soured me on the whole experience. TribalScale had seemed like a great company but I have yet to encounter such unprofessionalism with any other company, across multiple industries.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TribalScale (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Applied Online > Phone Interview > Pair Programming On Site > iOS Specific Pair Programming On Site > Didn't even get a response after spending hours at their office writing code with other engineers. Please don't waste your time to interview with this company because they don't care enough about to even respond to candidates after inviting them to their office twice! There are lots of companies in Toronto which will treat you like a human, so do not waste your time!
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at TribalScale (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Initial phone call with recruiter, then a 1 hour in-person technical interview at their Toronto office. Interviewed with only one team member who had been there for a little more than a year. Briefly discussed personal background, then asked iOS questions including: categories, auto layout, etc.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Palindrome question. Given a string, return true if its a palindrome, ex. "abba" = true, "abcba" = true
FizzBuzz. Given a loop that counts upwards to X, print "Fizz" if the number is divisible by 3, "Buzz" if its divisible by 5, "FizzBuzz" if divisible by both, otherwise print the counter value. Then complexity is added when you are asked to introduce new words like "Guzz", "Muzz", etc for different values. Order matters (you'll never have "BuzzFizz")
