This is a summary of the first two rounds. The team was related to on device machine learning, where people were of systems and edge computing background. I cannot give more information because of privacy policies.
I applied online. I interviewed at Apple in Feb 2026
Interview
Terrible experience, the interviewer rushed through my projects and then asked the difference between two dates from scratch, gave me 8 minutes to solve it before stopping me and asking "What can you optimize here"?. This is for a ML Engineer position, get the difference between two dates does not test algorithmic proficiency at any level. Really frustrating and bad experience overall.
