I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
It was good. They asked about my team work with other people and about my resume. They asked tough questions and were very serious. Apple had a difficult and intense interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How have you worked with other people in the past?
I applied online. I interviewed at Apple in Nov 2021
Interview
Surprisingly really easy. I applied to a posting online. A recruiter reached out and we never actually got on a call. He had me fill out a questionnaire with basic stuff like salary expectations and do you need sponsorship etc. after that I got a tech screen scheduled. Basic leet code style with questions at the end. But the question was super easy easy. Given 2 sorted arrays return a sorted array with all elements. For this I initialized and array of size a + b and did a pointer at the start of a and b and added the smaller element until one of the pointers passed the arrays length. Then filled in remaining elements. Then I was notified I passed and moved to another tech screen. Same style but they asked me to do the Max profit stock problem. Super easy. I was prepared for hard tree and graph problems lol. Engineers were really friendly. Great experience so far. Moving to final loop next week.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Feb 2018
Interview
2 phone calls. 1 onsite (8 45 min interviews).
Managers were unprofessional and not on time. Out of 8 interviews, 3 were late which impacted the interview results.
Consistently overworked with > 45 hour weeks.
I do not recommend the CoreOS team.
