Apple Interview Questions

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.

Positive. Constructive. Communication was very positive. The interviewer as concept questions and asked me to identify issues that relate to data analysis. Apple is a good company to work for.

Worst interview in my life. I’m quoting myself here - this a draft mail i’ve written to the contact hr person but never sent it. “ I was thinking since a little bit about the things happening around big tech companies and I thought I might write a small feedback letter: this might cut my chances to work ever again for apple but seeing overall the way companies handle candidates made me think I should write these down - if you don't give feedback I'll give one. Running late from a first impression interview is OK, but joining an interview and later leaving is the most terrible thing you can do - as this is the window you have towards the outside world, and this is a opportunity to give the best of yourself to people who would want to join Apple and "Make a difference". I'm coming from banking side - most of my experience is gained from banks, and we always had meetings and trainings about how to behave accordingly during interviews with outside candidates-clients, people who are not part of a organisation as that needs a lot more effort to put in as they are the ones who see us in a complete different way. I know my response during the interview might not met your requirements but i also had no chance to show real knowledge, as the interviewer (the person who should represent a whole company) showed no real interest towards me(being late 15 minutes and later another 10 minutes) This is like a relationship - both parties should at least show some sort of interest in each other(or at least honour , especially companies and tech recruiters who have the power to chose whom they reach out to and invite for a first round - get to know call. From my perspective, i was looking forward to have a first interview with Apple as i love the products since i was a little kid and this first impression basically ruined my whole picture about the company. This e-mail might be irrelevant from your perspective as you'll find definitely a candidate who's tolerance and acceptance level is higher but I think such view and such mindset should not be a value for a company who's background is defined by the perfection of their products, the culture and PR. As you can see the world is changing and the odds are clearly in you favour but the trends are showing this might going to change dramatically and finding the perfect candidate vs the right candidate might not be the same.”

Initial phone screening was easy. Be prepared for technical interview. You must know the basics. Must not answer wrong answers. You must know why you want to work for apple.

The interview process consisted of resume shortlisting and four technical rounds. Each round required passing to proceed, focusing solely on technical aspects. Overall, it was a comprehensive evaluation of skills and knowledge.

All day interview process, with five interviews. The first four were with engineers, the last with management. The questions ranged from coding to asking about hardware concepts, to silicon design. The last interview consisted of traditional interview questions.

Applied online. Phone screening with recruiter. Technical assessment. First-round interview with manager. Second round with team members. On-site interview. Reference checks. Background check. Job offer. Accepted. Thrilled to join Apple.

Straightforward and simple. Keep in mind they look for the people aspect more than the technical aspect. You need to get along with people just as well as you can repair iPhones and Macs.

Went through numerous interviews, with the same question asked by different people. The process took months, and very little follow up from the recruiters. Initial reach out was pleasant but prioritizes shifted in the middle of the interview process

Process was simple, two interviews. The first was laid back, the second was more tailored to the role and had to bring examples of my work (spreadsheet design, program design, etc.)
