Future Platforms interview questions

4 Stage Interview 1. Initial call with an internal recruiter 2. Technical test (You can also provide a link to your GIT repository) 3. Technical interview with Lead Engineer and project manager 4. Final interview with Technical Director The initial call with the internal recruiter was great as she was welcoming and was good at explaining the recruitment process. Once I provided my GitHub repository since just moved on from there. The technical interview was also good and the team was very friendly. I got great feedback after my 3 stage but chose not to move forward as i had accepted another role.

I really liked the vibe given from the website (types of projects/clients worked on, and staff comments/profiles) and speaking to Human Resources was a much better experience than the other mobile-agencies/companies I talked to. Sounded like a good place to grow as a developer - loads of expertise in the team and range of projects / technologies to get exposure to. I applied speculatively to the company - for a Junior iOS Developer position, which wasn't being advertised for at the time. First step of the was process - after my email application was responded to - was to have a telephone screening interview with the Head of People. From the phonecall they seemed like a much more friendly team and like they valued their staff more (others agencies I spoke to took themselves pretty seriously / sounded quite stuck up and were slow to answer communications or sounded distant/disinterested in emails etc) After this step I was given a coding exercise to complete over the next couple of days. At the time I was already working on another coding exercise for a different prospective employer - and Future Platforms were very flexible and understanding, allowing a time extension so that I could complete both. Once I'd completed the exercise, FP were pretty quick to get back to me with feedback - and I was kept in the loop about any delays so didn't feel like I had been forgotten about. After my work had been reviewed I had a face-to-face interview with the Head of Mobile and a Technical Lead - both great people. And then finally, as it was my first development job, I had a face-to-face interview with the Managing Director and Technical Director - again, both great people. Everyone I had contact with sounded like they wanted to speak to me, which was different from most of the experience I'd had elsewhere. As a developer trying to get their first gig (a bit of a gamble for any employer) I was really impressed with their treatment of me. I think it was less than 1 month from first contact to offer - which was perfect. I felt like the process was challenging/involved enough to feel like FP knew and cared what they were looking for, and quick enough to respect my time/life! (Another prospective employer waited 2-3 weeks between stages of the process and the whole thing took 3+ months - by half way through I already didn’t want to work with them because it felt like they didn’t care)
