I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Austin, TX) in Jan 2022
Interview
Got a first interview with an Engineering Manager - went great, talks about my experience
Got to the onsite:
- One system design - easy, came with a counter idea
- One Frontend - very frontend specific, didn't revise that
- One coding - default algo that you never use
- One behavioral and some principles
After a week send a follow up and got no answer.
After another week send another follow up and got denied with no explanations, was opposite of what i expected.

Around 2 months after I submitted my resume for Apple software engineer position, I got a call from the hiring manager. He asked me what was the good day for the interview. It took half day for meeting 5 people. It was long hour interview for me. Each interviewer spent ~ 30 minutes and asked ~ 4 questions. Each interviewer asked questions in the different areas.
The interview was easy, we talked about technical stuff in-depth: os, drivers. If they think you know something, they would ask you till they find where your knowledge ends. So be ready
