Phone screen with recruiter was nice enough
Got to the phone interview with the hiring manager, and it was something else. The manager calls me 10 minutes late. He then spends the first 15 minutes of the interview going over apple TV then asks me if I have any questions as if its the end of the interview.
I don't have any on the product ecosystem given that he gave a pretty extensive overview on it, but I withhold my questions on company culture for the end.
The manager then asks what languages I used in school, to which I answer 'I largely used python for my projects' (my resume has java and javascript since that's all I've used these last 2 years). then he grills me on putting things that I know on my resume. I proceed to get really confused by that one. Then the interview ends as we run out of time.
Please be more professional Apple, this was a joke of an 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.
6 rounds. 1 Technical Screening. Then onsite loop consisted of 4 rounds of behavioral, 2 technicals, and 1 sys design. Had an additional Hiring Manager round since I was borderline.
