Other Mobile Engineer interview reviews for Relay (Canada)
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Relay (Canada) (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2022
Interview
1. Initial 30 minute call with the team lead to go over experience and my resume
2. Had a sort of take home challenge: I was asked to think about my approach to a question and come prepared to discuss it with the team in a 1.5 hour (iirc) technical interview. This is something I hadn't seen before in companies but I hope more companies do this, since it's very relevant to your role and really showcases your thinking process (edge cases, how to handle errors, how you work with designs, etc.)
3. Technical Round with 3 people: 2 Senior developers and the Founder/CTO. Everyone was amazing, asked great questions and very friendly.
4. I didn't have any experience with their stack so they wanted to have a round to go over how I would approach the role if I was hired as well as review some of the code I wrote. I'm assuming this round doesn't exist for people with a good amount of experience.
5. Interview with the CEO. Also a really great and friendly person. It was a super energetic interview and he was kind enough to answer all my questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Take home challenge question was to build a simple app that displayed some data in a list. I was free to use Android, iOS or React Native. The ask was to come prepared to discuss, but I had written some code to help plan out my approach.
2. Technical interview built upon the code I had written. It was mostly around how I would handle specific edge cases or implementations. Wasn't asked to write any code on the spot.
3. Asked general mobile development and programming questions focused around Android (since I had used that for the take home challenge).
4. Standard questions, nothing out of the ordinary for the last round.
