I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Paysend (Belgrade, Central Serbia) in Apr 2025
Interview
Applied for a Middle iOS Developer position. The process started off okay, but quickly turned frustrating due to lack of transparency and poor communication.
- No interview prep or guidance from the recruiter at any stage.
- The iOS-related part of the technical task was very basic and didn’t reflect the job’s complexity.
- During the final interview with the CTO, I was unexpectedly given a LeetCode-style algorithm problem, without any prior mention that the process would include such tests.
- No concrete feedback was provided afterward. I was told the result was “positive,” yet I didn’t receive an offer — which is confusing and unprofessional.
- Lastly, the offered salary was well below market: €2700/month for a middle-level iOS role, which doesn’t align with industry standards.
Overall, the experience felt disorganized and out of touch with how mobile developer interviews should be run in 2025.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
SwiftUI related questions during iOS part. What is a @State, @Binding, @Enironment, @ObservableObject, SwiftUI lifecycle, etc.
On the interview with CTO I expected to answer some behavioral question, but instead got asked that leetcode problem. The problem: Imagine a Domino game. Each domino piece has 2 sides with numbers from 0 to 6. Given an array of these pieces, write an algorithm that would connect all domino pieces (sort them basically in the order that is correct, and it can go both sides). 45 minutes total interview length.
