I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Jul 2026
Interview
The interview process began with a 30-minute recruiter phone screen focused on my background, experience, and interest in the role. The next stage is a 60-minute live React coding interview conducted collaboratively with an engineer, where I'll solve an open-ended front-end problem while explaining my thought process, making design decisions, and discussing trade-offs. Throughout the process, the team evaluates technical skills, problem-solving, communication, and the ability to work through ambiguity in a collaborative environment.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself and the most complex project you've worked on.
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.
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
