      Senior IOS Engineer Interview

      10 Aug 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Richmond, BC
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at NETGEAR (Richmond, BC) in Aug 2017

      Interview

      The interview itself was pleasant and my interviewer came across as a nice individual. He did not however come across as being familiar with Apple platforms. He kept referring to the iPhone as "iOS" and the iPad as "tablet". A few days later, I was informed that the company would pass on my application because my most recent work experience was on OS X/macOS as opposed to iOS (which I also have experience in, just not 9-5 as of late). It's not the first interview where I've been rejected but it was my first rejection based on a misunderstanding on the part of the company. Anybody with actual experience developing on both platforms understands that, for the most part, iOS "IS" OS X, just slimmed down to fit within a mobile device. This is trivializing it somewhat, but the biggest difference in the OSes is that iOS is augmented to work with APIs to expose the hardware like GPS, accelerometer etc... My advice to the NETGEAR Richmond office is twofold: 1. Watch Steve Jobs present the iPhone and learn what iOS (nee iPhoneOS) really is. Google: "[HD] Steve Jobs - 2007 iPhone Presentation ( Part 1 of 2 )" and watch from the 8:30 mark. 2. When hiring the next candidate for such a role, have an in-house iOS developer accompany the interviewer and provide guidance in and after the interview. I want to thank NETGEAR for the opportunity they gave me and I hope they find the right candidate. They owe it to each candidate to make decisions based on facts, and I hope they heed my advice in this regard.
