Applico Software Engineer, Mobile interview questions

The interview process included several one on one sessions, all held over video chat, as well as a research and presentation assignment, also via video. The interviewers strongly advised candidates purchase and read the founder's book, which touts the competition-crushing benefits of platforms. Note: this is what has nearly destroyed the Web.

I struggled before writing this review. But I'm now confident my suspicions are true. Applico has a bimodal review distribution -- lots of low-ranking reviews followed by high-ranking reviews. I'm not sure what that's about (/s), but a lot of reviews reference the CEO, and against my better judgment I ignored them. Plainly put, the CEO called into my extremely interview hungover. At first I thought it might be awkwardness. So I compared my morning call with him to his appearances on various news networks (easily accessible). The juxtaposition was stark. And I immediately knew what happened. Folks, this is a case where you should follow the negative reviews and run. You don't call into an interview with a potential executive at your company hungover. And my post-interview research (that included speaking with past employees), revealed a lot told to me in the interview was a complete lie.
