      IOS Engineer Interview

      25 Jan 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Snap (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2018

      Interview

      I applied at Snapchat and interviewed via Google Hangouts. I interviewed via Google hangouts. I got every question correct, except for the coding portion where the outcome was to remove 2 return statements and move a comparison operation in front of the base case. My interviewer did not seem to understand very basic CS concepts and I explained to the interviewer that Linked Lists are faster for insertions and removals after he admitted to me that didn’t remember what the merit of using a Linked List was or when to use one. I went above and beyond in explaining the questions and how they related to concepts that I knew outside of what I was asked. So because of that I was told that I gave a sufficient answer during the coding portion, though I was told that it might be good to debug the solution while I was talking to him. I answered their questions very well and explained my thought process and followed the interview process closely, so I didn't see much room for improvement, yet I was still rejected when because I was not "a perfect match in the qualities sought in the iOS Engineering position", which I do not understand at all based on my performance.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Write a function to calculate the height of a binary tree. What are the merits of using an Array List vs a Linked List? How would you implement Merge Sort and Quick Sort? What are their time complexities?

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Snap

      Interview

      First round, 1 hr long. In the first 5 mins, giving self-intro. Then straight to coding. Language by choice. Haven't heard from them since that. No feedback received. Ideally, the next phase would be onsite, which consists of four 1-hour interview rounds.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Medium Leetcode like question, about BFS

      IOS Engineer Interview

      11 May 2024
      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Snap (New York, NY)

      Interview

      Applied directly online via LinkedIn job portal. No referral. Reached out to by recruiter via email to chat. Then, phone interview (60 minutes): - Behavioral questions (15 minutes) - iOS code debugging (Hackerrank) - Company-tagged leetcode question (medium) Then, onsite interview (4 hours, 4 interviews, 60 minutes each): 1) Declare + define + implement Network Client API and use concurrency to deliver results (dispatch groups, semaphores, barriers, queues, session, etc) in expected manner. 2) Non company-tagged leetcode medium for one problem mixed with OOD (Create classes); variation of BFS 3) System design for Snap specific functionality, doing mock interviews with other candidates interviewing for iOS roles really helped here 4) Hit api, get data, build simple app with collection view and show data and images for each cell Overall, not too hard and was pretty practical; I made some dumb mistakes that wasted time, but I think the interviewers saw that they were dumb mistakes and gave me grace. Either I fixed them soon after, or they gave me small hints along the way. Know iOS concurrency well.
