I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Nov 2025
Interview
First interview was 30 mins with the recruiter. Followed by a 45 minute interview with the hiring manager. Then SIX 30 min long interviews with the cross functional team. Questions focused on technical knowledge with maybe 1 per person about personality. Heavy focus on direct extensive experience doing the specific task at hand
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Guide me through the whole QMS and where does the risk management process happens as if I was 10 years old. Then the gaps where filled with very specific technical questions
The process started Online though the company website. The company portal was user freindly and easy to navigate. Several rounds of reviews with a number of team members. Overall a positive experience.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Apple in Mar 2024
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me to set up an interview with team members. After a couple of days, he came back to let me know that the team is busy with project deadlines, and the interview has to be postponed. I was ghosted after that.
