I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Apple (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2022
Interview
Very bad experience with Apple QA managers.
I was contacted by Apple recruiters and they wanted to schedule a 30 minute phone chat with the hiring manager.
The hiring managers (all of them Indian ) did not call.
Nobody is that busy not to call or cancel.
No follow up or apologies from recruiter or hiring managers.

Application
I applied online. I interviewed at Apple
Interview
HR Screening, Interview with Manager, and a series of panel interviews. Lengthy interview process but pretty standard to most interviews today. Got to meet a great team and had conversational interviews
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..
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. How did you use your "positive influence" to impact a project?
