      Software Engineer Interview

      3 Nov 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Apple

      Interview

      I was completely disappointed with the interview process. I have 4 years of work experience in backend software systems and Big data. I have interviewed with 4 different teams though I did well in all 4 different team phone interviews, they didn't call me for on site. 1. Some video processing team: one round with recruiter and one round with Hiring manager. He asked very simple questions I have answered all. Even he was happy with the answers. 3 days later I got reject. 2. Apple Mac os: This is the worst ever interview process in my life. 1 recruiter, 1 hiring manager round. Answered all the questions . Got another coding round. It's a leet code hard question. I did well and the ans is also correct. Got one more coding round. 2 coding questions. Did very well. after 3 days I got a reject. Seriously!!!? They can't reject based on my performance. But if they thought I have less experience, they should have known that before and shouldn't have even conducted 3 phone interviews. What a waste of time. 3. App store. 1 hiring manager round. did well and 1 phone interview lasted around 1 hour 15 min though it got scheduled for 1 hour. Did well. After 2 days got a reject. 4. App maps team. 1 coding round. Did well. Got reject in 3 days. Seriously. I have wasted so much energy and time going through this stupid interview process. I had offers from startups. My sincere advice is, If you are ready to waste time on this, then you can go ahead and apply . otherwise please don't. There are so many companies out there.

      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.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Apple (London, England)

      Interview

      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
