      Software Engineer Interview

      Oct 28, 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Cupertino, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Jul 2016

      Interview

      I applied through a recruiter, the whole process took 3 months. After 2 phone interviews, I was told to do an onsite interview. After that, the recruiter told me I did well but the opening is no longer available and asked me to do another onsite interview for another role. After the second onsite interview, the recruiter told me they'd like to give me an offer. Two weeks later, the recruiter told me they couldn't process me with the offer since the head count has been given to somewhere else. The interviewees are very nice and friendly. They ask me various questions from data structure, algorithm, to database, OO design etc. All these questions are not hard and make sense to me. (Except one interviewee gave me a bunch of Python3.* code printed on a piece of paper and asked me to give the output, I only use Python2.7, so I guess I gave the wrong answer to that question) However, the recruiting organize is a chaos, which makes me some kind of disappoint about Apple.

      Interview

      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.

      The interview was easy, we talked about technical stuff in-depth: os, drivers. If they think you know something, they would ask you till they find where your knowledge ends. So be ready
