I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Reddit (New York, NY) in Aug 2021
Interview
First step is the call with the recruiter where you will have to walk the recruiter through your experience.
Second step was the coding round.
Third step is the full day virtual onsite interview which can be split over 2 days. it includes 1 round with Hiring manager which is mostly talking about our past experience and answering the behaviors questions.
Another round included coding the service side or business logic of the iOS app.
Next round was also doing the coding in Xcode but was more of UI focused.
Then one of the round was for system design.
Last round was focused completely on behavioral questions.
Overall the interview rounds where completely relatable to iOS Development and was a good experience. Only point which is negative about the process is interviewers have high expectation and expects not just the working solution but quality code in short time span.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Question1: Given the dictionary
a: 1
b: {
c: 2
d: 3
}
Print the node in flat format like a: 1, b: c: 2, b: d: 3
Question: Fetch the data from the given service and parse the data
Question: Display the data fetched in previous round in tableView
Question: Design the Chat app.
Overall a pretty standard practice. Had a call with a recruiter then a technical round building a fake class which needed to do basic data structure methods (add, remove, show). I definitely didnt get the whole thing completed or complied but the interviewer was understanding and liked my logic so I moved on. Final round was a few technical interviews, and a system design. System design was very iOS specific and I struggled with some library specific iOS design patterns.

Question 1
Design a file system with add, remove, show functionality.
It was a fine process that was comparable to most tech companies. Initial meeting the technical interviews. There wasn't any surprises that were out of the ordinary. Common introduction questions then generic technical coding exercise.
