Application
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at eBay (Berlin) in Jun 2024
Interview
I got the Xcode project and we went through it with interviewer fixing bugs.
I passed the first technical round (questions), but got rejected after the second one - it was a little bit harder
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Async await (and how to combine it with closures - continuation and etc.), networking, SwiftUI
Was normal in process. Although their definition on junior isn’t quite accurate as they really were looking for mid-level. Was not made clear until the technical portions. Technical interview was communicated poorly, such as zoom link vs. code signal link and spoken expectations compared with written interview expectations.

Debugging exercise on simple test iOS application.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at eBay in Feb 2022
Interview
eBay recruiter contacted me on Linkedin. I sent my resume. Recruiter said hiring manager wanted to move forward but, I had to complete a take home exercise. I completed the exercise according to the directions and submitted within the time required. And then nothing. There was no moving forward, no feedback. I contacted the recruiter a few weeks later. The recruiter said the hiring manager might be on vacation. I contacted the recruiter again a few weeks after that. Still nothing. Complete waste of time.
