I interviewed at Apple

Interview

I applied online. It was a virtual interview with people from the team that I would be reporting to. I didn’t hear back after interviewing, but the process itself was straightforward.

Just started at Apple and I feel like there are so much to learn and some documents are definitely very elusive with the acronyms, I feel like it takes several hours for me to fully consume and understand a deck. Is this normal leaning curve for FAANG?

Yes, don’t get discouraged! It takes a minimum of 6-12 months to feel like you know what’s going on average

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Apple

Interview

This was the worst interview I've ever been on. The recruiter was 20 minutes late for the phone call, asked me 2 questions, mocked my answers & even laughed, and hung up. It was a truly awful & demeaning experience. Apple and the external agencies they work with still reach out to me frequently to interview for the same role, which means they aren't in the loop about how candidates are treated & tracked.

I've been at Apple for 6 months and I'm feeling crushed by imposter syndrome. No one has fired me yet but I feel like everyone is still holding my hand. But maybe that's just how the teams work here. I don't really know how to know if it's just me.

Congratulations on getting the spot at Apple! You should be proud of yourself, also most places allow a 6-15 month “ramp up”. Also don’t forget we’re in a pandemic still and everything takes a lot longer since most in office settings are now virtual. I think everyone struggles with imposter syndrome , I know I do! Just keep your head up, take notes of the questions you ask and feel free to discuss your thoughts with you manager/director. I think showing vulnerability in most causes isn’t viewed as weak or incapable. ❤️

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Apple (Austin, TX) in Feb 2021

Interview

interview consisted of 3 separate interviews. First one was a phone screen with my contracting company to determine if I had the experience for this job and if it matched what I was looking for. 2nd interview was with a recruiter/ interview team who wanted to go into detail about my resume and why I wanted to work at apple. final interview was with the Hiring manager who asked questions about organization, efficiency and wanted to get to know my personality.

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Austin, TX) in Mar 2018

Interview

I applied through Linkedin and received a reply from the recruiter within a day. Had a 30 minute phone interview with her. Within a day, I received a reply that they wanted to set up another 30 minute interview with someone on the team. A day or two after that, they invited me in to speak with a team member and two managers for a 2 hour interview. This was fairly straightforward, however the one manager spent about 10 minutes talking about the birds and roaches in Austin, which I thought was very inappropriate, as it took away from allowing me to ask questions at the end. I really thought I nailed the interview. I came out feeling extremely positive. The next day, I wanted to send Thank You emails, but was told I could not have the interviewers' email addresses (for privacy reasons, I guess), so the Coordinator (supposedly) sent my notes to the interviewers for me... Then nothing. Nothing for three whole weeks. Literally nothing except anxiety. I followed up twice with the recruiter and received no reply. I was told in the interview when I inquired that when they found the right person, they "move quickly on them." However, if this were true, they should make more of an effort to send out notice to the people who did not get the position just as quickly. All in all, the first part of the experience was 100% positive. The second part was 100% negative.

Hi! 20 year old female currently working full time at Apple, looking to get into software engineering (hopefully also for Apple). I have taken a few college classes, but I don’t have a degree. Is a degree necessary for the field I am trying to pursue? If not, please feel free to recommend ways I can build my experience while also working full time to be successful in this role. This is a large, complex industry to navigate and I would really appreciate some insight from you pros. Thank you!

What do you currently do at Apple? I do data science so I don’t know much about software engineering, but I’ve heard of people being self taught (online courses/boot camps) and having success. Hopefully some other more knowledgeable folks here will help you out. Best of luck!

I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (Austin, TX)

Interview

I went through three interviews and spoke with a total of 6 different people throughout those interviews. The first two were by phone and the third was via FaceTime. The interviewers were polite and respectful, no issue there. An aspect that caught me by surprise is that I did expect more diversity in the organization. All 6 people I was interviewed by were white women, which is not an issue, but it is something I notice and did not expect (especially after extensively browsing the Apple Inclusion and Diversity page). The questions were not hard, its apparent they are looking for a cultural fit. The first two interviews were basic questions in handling scheduling and past experiences. The third interview was completely comprised of situational questions (i.e. What would you do if *insert scenario* happened?)

I applied through other source. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Apple in May 2017

Interview

As someone who works in recruiting, I was appalled at how condescending and rude the person who called me was. They were completely unprofessional and it seemed like they went out of their way to be as sarcastic and patronizing as possible with every word that came out of their mouth. They also let me know there was no room for growth in the company at that position and that there's life/work balance. They went on about how they strive to make every person who interviews with them have a great experience which is laughable. I would never recommend this company to anyone. It was so horrible, I sent them a message later in the day thanking them for their time and letting them know I was no longer interested in the position.

Interview Questions
  • Tell me about a time you handled a stressful situation.
  • Let me know your understanding of the position.
  • What's something you've done at your current position to solve a pressing issue?

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Sunnyvale, CA) in Nov 2015

Interview

Phone interview: questions about desired salary and explained in detail the position. Asked about my past experience and how that would relate to the role. Next round (in person) at Apple: Was a panel of four team members including the head recruiter that would oversee the team. They asked to “tell us about yourself” then asked about basic admin. functions like... how many contacts do you currently work with on a daily basis? They also asked where they had contacted me from. It was definitely more about personality at the interview and that was obvious.

Interview Questions
  • Describe yourself? Tell us about yourself? Which means business background and skills and why you are awesome and confident.

Interview

Reached out to me regarding a position. Took a long time to even get a response. Had a phone screen that went well in my opinion, but then never heard back. Sent a follow-up e-mail to the recruiter, but never heard from him again. It's funny how he stressed the importance of candidate experience but then left a pretty negative impression afterwards.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple

Interview

I was referred to the job opening through a recruiter I knew, and soon got an email from the hiring manager to set up a phone interview. The phone interview is only about 30 minutes and that happened the week we got in touch. The following week I did an on-sight interview. They are 2-3 hours depending on the style of the hiring manager. Generally you meet with 2-3 other coordinators every 30 minutes for the 2-3 hours and have a series of group interviews. At the end, you usually wrap up with the hiring manager. During the interview they gave me a few scenarios where you must prioritize tasks you are given. They ask about your organizational style, work experience, scheduling experience, etc. It took a little over 2 weeks to hear back that I didn't get a second interview.

Interview Questions
  • I think the most difficult thing about these types of interviews is having to answer the same questions over and over and trying to keep your answers sounding exciting and interesting everytime. The questions they asked weren't very unusual for the job.

Administrative Assistant

Gave two interviews recently and got a feedback that I wasn’t able to explain my role as effectively, because of which I won’t be able to transition as fast into a fast-paced environment. I have worked in one small firm and one small-mid firm, and I personally feel I am ready to take up more responsibilities and move to a bigger firm for more exposure. Not sure how else I can explain my roles effectively, even after walking them through everything, how am I supposed to utilise this feedback?

Im really interested in applying for Walmart but I'm not interested in the bs that comes along with it. Especially when nowadays the difference between poverty & not living on the streets is a full-time job (If you're lucky) 🥴🥴
