I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Apple (Cork) in Oct 2019
Interview
The job position was for Cork (Ireland). I first received a meeting invitation from somebody in HR. As it was the 1st interview, I was expecting more HR questions but it wasn't like that. All the questions were really theoretical.
Questions: What is an Active Directory? What does Microsoft Exchange Server do? Tell me about e-mail protocols? How would you handle a problem in the server? Tell me errors you can get from a server? What is the difference between SQL, MySQL and NoSQL ?What is mobile device management?
I already felt the interview didn't go so well. After several weeks I received the email that they had decided to go for another candidate.

Question 1
You are given 50 PCs and 50 phones for your team (with 50 members). How would you set and manage the access rights for all the gadgets?
Disorganized, dissatisfied, and disappointed. This was not what I expected from a global powerhouse like Apple. It seems they need a better way to humanize their applicants and potential employees.
