I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA)
Interview
The interview was very intense, lasting several hours with 8 people. I was asked several technical questions. Honestly, none of the questions were difficult, and I was able to answer all of them well. However, many of the other candidates had several years of industry experience, while I only had research experience from university. This was the only interview where I didn't miss any questions, yet I didn’t receive the offer, which was very surprising.
