I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Motive (Karāchi)
Interview
their interview process is very VERY long and tiresome. It has 6 total steps, coding challenge, interview iOS, interview DS and Algorithms, Architecture design and interview with hiring manager etc etc etc

1. Initial introductory call with recruiter for about 20-30 minutes(Seem like the recruiter was not prepared for the call)
2. Technical screen round of about 45-60 minutes with hiring manager
3. Virtual interview rounds
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Struct Vs Classes, Singleton design pattern, App Lifecycle, Retain Cycle and GCD related in depth questions
2. Questions related to constraints
3. Questions related to past iOS experience and types of projects worked on.
I have 7 years of vast experience in iOS and a ROR resource took my coding test. The challenging task was to reverse an array 😰 He asked me to compile my code in the end and online editor didn't compiled my code actually Swift compiler was not even available in the provided editor. he told me in the end that he doesn't know anything about iOS and swift language syntax.
And the guy didn't recommended me for the next phase based on reversing an array in a language that he doesn't understand on a compiler that doesn't compile Swift ... 👏
