I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Plastic Mobile (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Everyone was very welcoming. The space is warm and comfortable, right in Liberty Village Market. First had a face to face "cultural fit" interview, then came the tech. The whole process was under two hours. I'm still waiting to hear back. I would accept an offer from Plastic for sure!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The goal is to use an API to fill a table view controller with images and text using JSON. The written exam has a page of definitions, three or four problem solving and three or four coding problems. The last coding problem was particularly challenging.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Plastic Mobile (Toronto, ON) in Jul 2015
Interview
I was initially contacted by Plastic Mobile via LinkedIn and an interview was setup over email. I went in to their location in Liberty Village in Toronto and completed the interview. I did not hear back from them. I found their interview very difficult as they did not give much time to complete the written or practical exam. Also note that when you're doing the practical test (to write an app) you must use their equipment which I found heavily hindered me as I've finely tuned my own development machine with additional software that streamlines development. I did bring my dev machine with me and asked to use it but was told I had to use their machine.

Question 1
The interview was formatted into three sections: verbal, written and practical. First, you are interviewed by a member of the company essentially delving into your resume. Then, you are given a written test covering basic programming theory. Finally, they gave a practical exam consisting of writing a basic app.
