Top Mobile Engineer Interview Questions & How to Answer

Question 1

Question #1: What programming languages are you proficient in?

How to answer
How to answer: This is your opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge. Outline which languages you know and give a few details about your experience. For example, say how long you've been using the language, how and why you learned it, and an example of a project which you worked on. Highlight any self-study, particularly for languages that you are less proficient in, as this shows that you are willing to continue learning.
Question 2

Question #2: What is your problem-solving process?

How to answer
How to answer: The interviewer wants to know your whole process for problem-solving from beginning to end. Explain how you identify and categorize problems or bugs, what steps you take to find a solution, and how you deal with stumbling blocks. Try to use specific examples from your own experience where possible.
Question 3

Question #3: What project management tools have you used?

How to answer
How to answer: Project management is a crucial part of ensuring a team works together effectively. List any tools you have used and explain what you like about them and how they improved your workflow. It's a good idea to research and test out a variety of project management tools in your spare time so that you can easily talk about each one and adapt to using it.

5,876 mobile engineer interview questions shared by candidates

I was provided with a laptop and was asked to create a simple app that displays a list of items and allows to search them. I was only allowed to use Apple documentation. I was interviewed by two guys and both were not very encouraging. At the end of the hour I said that I don’t think either of us enjoyed the format and wanted to go home but we proceeded with the second question. I was give a magic map that does all the operation O(1) and was asked to implement a function that returns a random element from the map. The tricky part is that it has to be uniformly distributed based on values. i.e. given map that has values 1,1,2,3,4,4,4 number 4 is 3 times more likely to be returned than 3 and 1 two times more likely to be returned than 3. I did pretty well but felt like the two interviewers were not very helpful. I wanted to go home again but instead another intern took me for coffee. The guy was from Germany and we had a nice chat. We toured the office and I was shown all the cool benifits they have like free snacks and a catered lunch. The office looked like a cramped aquarium with engineers sitting so close to each other that their shoulders were almost touching. After the tour I was told that I can go home now. It was pretty clear from the first interview that I was not a good fit for the company since I was not excited to demonstrate my super-coder abilities so I was not even sure why was I kept there for so long.
