      IOS Engineer Interview

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at OpenTable in May 2021

      Interview

      Pros: - A recruiter got back to me within a couple days of submitting my application, and was able to setup a initial phone call very quickly after that. I appreciate the timely responses. Cons: - The recruiter was informal/casual to the point where it seemed inappropriate. Not a huge deal though. - While talking about compensation, the possible range of what you could be offered seemed all over the place. It seemed like the recruiter didn't really know. - Advertised compensation seemed low in comparison to the competition. - Recruiter did a bad job hyping up the job. Instead, he admitted that the company had suffered from COVID but 'looks' like it is getting better. This was expected, but was told in a negative way. If you aren't excited about the opportunity after talking to a recruiter, you know it's not the right gig. (In fact, I had another call setup with another company shortly after, it the recruiter was amazing! It really makes a huge difference) ----- The next step after the initial phone call is a take-home project. They advertise it as taking only a couple hours, but it really depends on how nice you want it to be. If you are a somewhat competent iOS engineer already, it should not be challenging at all, but it may take more time than advertised. I got an automated rejection email shortly after submitting the project. I didn't put 100% into the project I admit, but given the initial experience, I didn't feel like it was worth it. And, I have a feeling I was rejected before they even looked at it, since my past interview projects have gotten very positive feedback. ---- Final words: If you are a recent-grad looking for a first job, OpenTable seems like a decent place to be for a little bit. However, if you are looking for a step up in your career and in compensation, I'd pick another company.
