Envié una solicitud electrónica. El proceso duró 6 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Skyscanner (Londres, Inglaterra) en oct 2017
Entrevista
I applied online and after a week I received an email from the HR department saying that in order to progress with the application I had to do a coding challenge. It was to write an iOS app in Objective-C (no option of using Swift) where I had to implement the Skyscanner's search screen using their flight search APIs. They give you up to a week but it's a long task.
Passing that stage I had a 1 hour phone interview with an HR employee about my previous experience and different soft skills related questions.
The next round was a 1 hour video interview with a web engineer. Here he asked questions that had nothing to do with mobile development. Things like tell me the whole process that happens after entering a URL in the browser to seeing the website rendered. 🤨
I had 4.5/5 points in the coding challenge and I had the feeling both interviews went well (as I was able to reply to every question thanks to previous feedback on Glassdoor) but I got rejected. I asked for feedback on what went wrong as I was surprised but they didn't reply.
There was supposed to be a fourth step.
The worst is that the process takes really long, it's very time consuming and you are asked questions that have nothing to do with mobile development.

What mobile technologies do you know? (I asked what does he mean by technologies, if languages, platforms, dev tools, native frameworks, … he said “everything”).
