I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tinder in Jul 2021
Interview
Basic phone screen followed by an hour-long engineering screen then the "virtual" onsite interview.
The onsite interview was an interesting format. There was a 15-minute intro interview and I was given a prompt for an app to make within a couple of hours. There was a lunch break/ check-in around halfway, then a group interview with 4 engineers who reviewed my work and asked questions about it.

Question 1
Signed an NDA so I can't be specific, but it contained many of your generic iOS questions with some deep dives into them.

Interview
My interview process lasted about five weeks to get to the final step. It consisted of a phone screen with a recruiter, a technical screen, a 5-hour virtual on-site interview through Zoom, and then a hiring manager chat (behavioral style interview).
Overall, it was a great experience. Everyone throughout the process was really nice and welcoming.
I felt collaboration, talking through your thought process, and acting on feedback provided by interviewers were key factors that the team looked for.
