Interview
The interview process for a Senior Software Engineer position at Apple is comprehensive and typically spans 4 to 6 weeks. It begins with an initial conversation with a recruiter, focusing on your background, the role's requirements, and scheduling subsequent steps. This is followed by a technical phone interview lasting approximately 45 to 60 minutes, where you're assessed on coding problems centered around data structures and algorithms via a shared editor.
