I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Mar 2017
Interview
There was two phone screen interview before the onsite.
Apple arranged my onsite interview at Cupertino.
There were five major rounds.
Though the position was for QA, there was one round with the developer.
There was also interview with managers, who ask you behavioral questions.
In short, the interview was good, but they rejected me because they found someone with better experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Embedded Questions like when you press a button then how does microcontroller sample the button input so that it only reads it once rather than many times
HR Screening, Interview with Manager, and a series of panel interviews. Lengthy interview process but pretty standard to most interviews today. Got to meet a great team and had conversational interviews
Call with manager, SQL and coding questions. the SQL questions seemed to be asked off the top of the manager’s head so the best preparation is to be well versed in simple SQL.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in June 2025
Interview
Since I had interviewed for another QA role a couple of months back, I was directly screened for the "Hiring Manager round" this time.
It was a quick 30-min QA technical interview with a couple of behavioral questions.
I got enough time to ask HM a few questions at the end.
It has been good so far..
