      Software Engineer Interview

      Jan 3, 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Apple in Feb 2022

      Interview

      I have taken the Apple interview twice, once for an internship (and I got the offer), and once for full-time (I got ghosted after the first round, oops). Having experienced the different internship rounds, I have tried to sum up Apple’s internship interview process and tips to crack it. The Apple experience was quite different compared to the rest of the Big N. A huge advantage of getting an internship at Apple is, they have the highest intern retention rate as far as I know compared to the rest. There is always a possibility that you’ll not convert to full-time if you intern at Amazon, Google, etc. but with Apple, an internship offer pretty much guarantees a full-time offer unless you really mess up. The reason being: Apple is very secretive about their work culture, they take their privacy very seriously. They want to retain their employees, including interns. Hence the bar for hiring interns is very high, almost as high as hiring full-timers directly. Another difference was how fast the entire process was. I had 4 rounds in 2 days, and by the evening of the second day, I had the offer letter in my hand. It was my first offer from a tech giant and I was shaking with excitement and disbelief if I’m very honest.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at 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
