I interviewed at Apple (New York, NY)

The interview overall is good, the interview question is difficult but creative. From the knowledge base, they did test a lot of information about their company. But also, from the product perspective.

Application

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple in Mar 2023

Interview

Phone screen with HM, then portfolio presentation with HM. Overall straightforward except I was expecting more rounds. Recruiter was great throughout the process. Might have been fast because it was towards the end of the year/closer to when the internship would be.
