      IOS Developer Interview

      Oct 13, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Los Angeles, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Gimbal (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2018

      Interview

      Interview with Recruiter/HR, Interview with "tech dude", tech test (didn't get that far). The interview with the recruiter was good, really nice guy, but focused way too much on money which threw me for a loop - I don't know you guys yet! Literally anyone would be willing to work for whatever if the company is amazing & cool (which I didn't know yet, and turns out it's not). The interview with tech dude was a bore, horrible questions that had no relation to tech ("how would you sell a vending machine?") Is this a sales job or a dev role? I code the vending machines not sell them. Apparently to see "how I think." Not a single question about the projects I worked on or my experience as a developer. Closest question: "what is the hardest problem you faced." I don't know - I'm a developer - I solve a hundred thousand problems a day, and none of them have ever been too hard to solve. If they were hard, I wouldn't be a developer who does very well, and so it is a backwards loaded question. In general, I knew right away I would be a poor fit. Their product was not described in terms that anyone that hadn't worked at their strongest competitor would understand, and the recruiter didn't know either. Found it hilarious that both interviews they mentioned "how hard it is to hire people," not anything to do with us - your interviews don't get to the core of the persons knowledge, expertise, or how they can provide a unique perspective/experience can add to the company. There is obviously a mold they want that very few people fit (have a lot of business knowledge, understand the product, jargon, sales skills, development skills maybe not even that important), and that makes for a very single minded company. I have a feeling they are more likely to hire big ego types with business blagging skills and poor tech skills. Also job description is not clear - it is not a mobile development role - you will be doing an SDK, not apps - so this needs updating to avoid confusion. This thew me for a loop as well.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      "If you were a buyer of vending machines, how would you go about picking the best one, what factors would play into your profits, how would you provide quality assurance".

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Gimbal

      Interview

      Friendly HR, unfriendly engineers and CTO. They had a huge air of superiority to them. If you don't know their particular industry, they will try to make you feel bad about yourself. I also didn't get any feedback.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I was expected to know exactly how their company works, even though the website isn't all that clear.
