I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Apple (Austin, TX) in Feb 2015
Interview
A short phone interview of 30 minutes. Firstly asked if i am willing to reallocate, then asks if i previously have experience of system verilog. And soon the interviewer begins to ask technical questions about c++, computer architecture. I think the accent of interviewer is a little bit hard for me to understand.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
ask the concept of virtual function, pure function in c++. Ask previous verification experience. An question about how to write a c program to judge whether a machine is big-endian or little-endian
