      Software QA Engineer Interview

      7 Sept 2011
      Anonymous employee
      Cupertino, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Aug 2011

      Interview

      The interview process consisted of 3 phone screens and then a full day of in-person interviews in Cupertino. The whole process was very organised and the interviewers were professional, polite and well prepared. I could tell that Apple has specific procedures and formats for interviews because of the similarities in dialogue and the way interviews were conducted with different interviewers. All of the technical coding questions followed the same general format. First, I was given a problem to solve and asked to write a short program or function to solve it. After, I was asked to demonstrate how the program works by using a specific example given by the interviewer. Finally, I was asked about the complexity of my solution. In many cases, I was given an opportunity to come up with another solution that would be more efficient than the original. One more thing to note is that it is very important to have an accurate resume. This may seems obvious, but you will be asked questions based on the skills listed on your resume.

      Call with manager, SQL and coding questions. the SQL questions seemed to be asked off the top of the manager’s head so the best preparation is to be well versed in simple SQL.

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Jun 2025

      Interview

      Since I had interviewed for another QA role a couple of months back, I was directly screened for the "Hiring Manager round" this time. It was a quick 30-min QA technical interview with a couple of behavioral questions. I got enough time to ask HM a few questions at the end. It has been good so far..

      Question 1

      1. How did you use your "positive influence" to impact a project? 2. How do you define priority and severity? 3. What constitutes a good bug report?
