They also asked me how I view the difference between verification and validation.

This was my first interview with an engineering team within IS&T at Apple and felt like the 3 interviewers were overly harsh. Don't be surprised if they say "write a shell script on the board", or ask subnetting questions (e.g. IP address to binary) or get heavy into networking questions for a Systems Admin job. I was surprised, and didn't really find a lot of the questions fair for the job classification. I was not impressed that I was left alone and forgotten.
