First is phone interview, asked some questions about some security questions, SQLi, XSS, crypto. The manager is very friendly and positive.
Next is video interview, the interviewee ask some questions that is not too much relevant about the position and I couldn't answer perfectly, the interviewee told me it is very basic for this job and stopped the interview, the whole process is only 5 minutes, very disappointed.
I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (Hyderābād) in Nov 2024
Interview
Total Interview = 5 round
Got disqualified at round 2nd
Reason = Communication gap. The interviewer at round 2nd belongs to Singapore. Even after delivering the right answer, the interviewer heard the answer being a wrong answer. At the end of the interview, while asking him the answer for that question, he simply iterated the same answer as me with different terminology used. It was a totally unbiased decision.
Heads-Up to Company: Apple should be very careful while selecting their hiring panel against the candidate stepping for the interview.
