I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in May 2024
Interview
Long process with rare interaction from the recruiter. I made it to the finals, there were 8 rounds in total and the process took 3 months. As a finalist, I received an auto-rejection email 4 weeks after the final round interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you handle competing priorities from multiple teams ?
Multiple rounds with a panel of 6-8 people as part of the interview process. Recruiters are slow to get back to you and often will ghost you. Even when an offer is imminent it could take a month or 2.
Straightforward but judgmental from the start.
Dive in and wade the water, and hopefully you get to the next question, and then wade that scenario. Overall great experience and enjoyed the process.
Three step process, incredibly smooth and well informed along the way. The interviewers were clearly engaged and polite, and I had a lot of flexibility with timing. It didn't end up working out for unrelated reasons.
