      Software Engineering Interview

      Aug 26, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Apple in Apr 2014

      Interview

      Was referred to the company by a friend and contacted by a recruiter within 2-3 weeks. Interview process went by fairly smoothly, with only two technical phone interviews. Both these interviews were with members from the prospective team I would be joining and I got a call from the recruiter about a week after the second interview with the offer. Everything was handled very cordially and the recruiter was available by email to answer any questions I had. Make sure to review data structures and search algorithms for the technical questions. I would also say that showing great interest in Apple products and being able to express why you want to work at the company is just as important as doing well on the technical questions.

      Question 1

      Easy warmup question like reversing a string and then some more difficult ones involving search algorithms and data structures. Overall the interview process and questions asked are represented fairly well on this site.

      First round was to speak with the hiring manager and the engineering manager I would report to. Second round was to speak with the VP of the team. The interview was mostly behavioral with 2 coding questions. Overall, good experience.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Apple

      Interview

      I had two half hour interviews, each with an engineering manager. They were more conversational. I didn't get asked any coding questions, but was asked a lot of specific questions about my resume and past experience. I had a positive experience with the interview but they took a long time to get back to me afterward and didn't respond when I followed up.
