      Senios IOS Engineer Interview

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at BeReal. in Apr 2026

      Interview

      I applied for the Senior iOS Engineer position despite the many negative reviews here. Unfortunately, my experience ended up validating many of the concerns other candidates have raised. The take-home assignment was advertised as roughly 4 hours of work, which is honestly hard to take seriously given the expectations. The task was essentially to build a polished Instagram Stories-like feature from scratch, with strong architecture, smooth animations, persistence, pagination, edge-case handling, and production-level quality. Anyone who has actually built iOS products knows that delivering something at that level takes significantly more than 4 hours. What made the experience even more frustrating was the rejection feedback. After spending considerable time delivering a clean, polished solution, I was told it lacked localization and accessibility support. Seriously? For a supposedly 4-hour coding exercise? At some point it stops being an assessment and starts feeling like a search for reasons to reject candidates. The entire process felt disconnected from reality and disrespectful of candidates' time. If you're considering applying, be aware that the stated scope and the actual expectations appear to be very different things. I would also strongly encourage candidates to carefully read the reviews and comments regarding management and product leadership before investing their time in this process. I initially underestimated those concerns, but after going through the hiring process myself, I found many of them difficult to ignore.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Interview question: "Build an Instagram Stories clone in SwiftUI." Requirements included infinite pagination, seen/unseen states, likes, persistence, polished UX, scalability, architecture, performance, edge-case handling, plus a demo video and technical presentation. The estimated effort according to the company: about 4 hours.
