      Software Engineer (Ruby On Rails) Interview

      Jun 27, 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Cupertino, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Feb 2024

      Interview

      First you do a take home assignment - build an example Rails app integrating some third party API. Then there's a call with two other engineers from the team. They never provided any feedback on the assignment. One of them joined late with no explanation and didn't have video on. Audio was poor as well. Then he kept interrupting me as I was trying to answer. He was doing that thing where he asks the same question repeatedly in slightly different wording, but not clarifying why the previous answer wasn't sufficient. Very badgering tone. The combination of no video for facial expression with poor audio quality made everything worse. They also asked one inappropriate question, and one of those silly puzzle questions that have zero correlation with job performance.
