      Senior Software Engineer - Java Interview

      17 Feb 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (London, England) in Jan 2022

      Interview

      I describe the interview procedure too much, because I had no feedback after the first stage. Which was a pair programming coding exercise. Fairly easy problem, nothing horrific. The only problem was the given time is not enough to finish the test with proper TDD. I was told that was expected. So, you need to hurry if you want to put everything in your time frame. But I guess, that's part of the process. It should be a pair programming, but the interviewer didn't took any attention to the interview. He was working on another screen and didn't listened what I was doing and why. I asked if I could speak out loud, and explain what I did. The answer was: "I don't mind, however fits you the best." He wasn't interested in this interview at all, and this was the point when I realised I stand no chance to progress. When my time elapsed, he asked what have I done. He gave me 2 mins to explain and said, we have no more time. This is a very negative experience with probably the leading tech innovator in the World. You expect much, and much better interviewer and actually some interest by the interviewer should have been normal.

You may assume that the input will always have at least one word.
