      Software Engineer Interview

      30 Sept 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Cupertino, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA)

      Interview

      I got an email from a recruiter. After a while I signed an NDA and got my first interview screen. This interview was super nice. I really enjoyed talking to the interviewer. He asked me about things I listed on my resume and we talked about implementation details. They flew me over to Cupertino a few weeks later. The interview was on site. I talked first with the recruiter who insisted in how much I was expecting for a salary. I tried to avoid it but the conversation would not progress without numbers. This was very annoying. The technical interview started. I picked the wrong approach and the interviewer dug me into a hole as he gave me no chance to stop and start with a different approach. The next interviews were more to talk about what I do, similar to the first screen interview. It was lunch time and I was handed food and the next interview started. It was a white board code problem, and as I was solving and explaining the interviewer was eating his pear and looking at his plate. I finished the test and I felt he was expecting a certain answer because he didn't talk about my solution, just what he expected as solution. I was not able to finish my lunch before the next interview started. The next was another white board code interview. This was nice and the guy was great. Super high spirits and talkative. I really enjoyed this interview. The problem was not complex, was just to check my knowledge on C++. 4 hours later and no breaks, I had my last interview. It was another white board code interview. I did go half way on the solution. This last question was rather simple, but I was too tired to think clearly.

      Interview

      Around 2 months after I submitted my resume for Apple software engineer position, I got a call from the hiring manager. He asked me what was the good day for the interview. It took half day for meeting 5 people. It was long hour interview for me. Each interviewer spent ~ 30 minutes and asked ~ 4 questions. Each interviewer asked questions in the different areas.
