I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (Dallas, TX) in Jul 2026
Interview
The recruiter reached out to set up a technical interview with the hiring manager. The interviewer joined a few minutes later. Apparently she had a meeting previous to that. The position was not my fit. The interviewer didn't try to ask me questions about my background to see if I am any capable. She just asked one question about Bluetooth!
he role focused heavily on core Python coding skills and data structures, which were assessed through two intensive interviews per day and a series of challenging LeetCode-style questions, rather than following a traditional, infrastructure-focused DevOps interview process.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple in May 2025
Interview
I can talk about my interview experience with Apple fr the role of Infrastructure/DevOps Engineer. I had first received Coderpad link to complete which is a technical assessment revolving around basics of devOps like Kubernetes, docker, AWS, linux, python scripting, ansible etc. Most of the questions were MCGs with three scripting question. Received feedback for the same through mail and they scheduled first round of technical interview on mail itself. No phone calls from any recruiters for the same.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Technical interview started with interviewer being straightforward asking for my introduction. Without the need to explain what is expected from this interview and introducing himself.
Then went ahead with opening coderpad shell and asked to code two programs of easy difficulty level but was very adamant on writing correct syntaxes for the same. I personally didn’t understand the need to not learn syntaxes in this ever evolving world and time of AI and GPT tools but that’s okay. After that interviewer focused on Linux fundamentals like asking for commands like what is exact command of memory checking, disk partition, etc.
Next, focused on Github commands and wanted pin point answers of everything without having a discussion which was awful. Then focused on Kubernetes and docker and kept playing question-answer instead of having real discussions around the tech side. Can see interviewer disappointment when I didn’t knew answers, syntaxes which tells about company culture. Fortunately, I have my job and there’s no dire need to work alongside such individuals because it was it would be such a nightmare. All in all, felt like I was interviewing for Linux Administrator role in 2015. Laid back interviewer approach in time. No questions on CICD, AWS infrastructure, Terraform on which my main skillset is.
Still I’m glad to have a chance to appear for the interview but it would be fruitful if there would have been discussions and if I had learnt something from this time.
