      Java Software Engineer Interview

      14 Oct 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Sunnyvale, CA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Sunnyvale, CA) in Sept 2019

      Interview

      I interviewed with Apple in September 2019. I had a total of 5 rounds. One 1 hour telephonic and four onsite rounds of 1 hour each. I had a competitive offer from a similar level organization. I informed them about my other offer and they immediately decided to move ahead with me for a full-time position. I was more than happy to receive an offer from FAANG until I searched on google about ETS org which falls under IS&T. I read so bad reviews on Blind, Quora and Glassdoor also spoke to a few of my friends at Apple. Then, I came to know this is a bad org at Apple. When the Apple recruiter asked me about other offer details, I gave him the numbers. They equalized my offer with another company. They gave me an ICT3 offer. Also, when I started negotiating, they started demeaning the other org from where I had got the offer. This is highly unprofessional. However, I accepted the verbal offer. After a week, they altered my offer, reducing the base by 5K and asked me if I was ok. what kind of ethical behavior is that? They released the offer letter They gave me 48 hours to accept the apple offer. Meanwhile, I got an offer from one of the FAANG companies and asked them to raise TC again, considering the fact that they demeaned my earlier company, now that I have got an offer from a similar level company, they should consider. After the discussion, they rescinded my offer without letting me know!!! After writing 2-4 emails as to why I can't access my offer letter, they let me know that you are not a good fit for our organization!! Just because I have 3 offers from FAANG level companies and trying to negotiate, they feel I am not the right fit. No wonder I see so many bad reviews of IS&T org. Such a pathetic organization!! They literally promote incompetence.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Apple

      Interview

      There were multiple rounds of coding interview and System Design based questions. The coding rounds vary from medium to difficult. Practicing LeetCode regularly would help. Strong Knowledge on Data Structures and Algorithms is a plus for these interviews.
