      18 Apr 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Cupertino, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Nov 2020

      Interview

      Recruiter reached out for an internal position. I didn't apply for the position. One phone interview 45 min -> 2 week silence -> 6 panel interviews on VC each 45min -> complete silence and no word and/or email from recruiter after the interview process. Hiring manager had no questions on my resume or past work, no behavioral/ tell me about a time question. Spent 45 mins explaining the organization and business. No indication on what my daily role and responsibility may look like. They wanted me to do two more cross-org interviews after 1+6 rounds of interviews.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Phone Screen: Based on previous projects and resume. Coding question: Design counter. difficulty level: easy Panel interview: interview 1: coding : Palindrome with Vowels (easy) interview2: performance: interview was mostly Release engineer and instead of anything to do with perf. this was mostly deployment related round. interview3: performance: Interviewer explained their domain expertise and kept asking question in-their domain vs. candidates' expertise domain interview4: Hiring manager: spent good 35 min explaining org tree, business structure. No question on resume, behavioral etc. No indication on what roles and responsibilities would look like. Also mentioned, if all feedback was positive- I'd need to do two more rounds (after 7 rounds). In their words, i was't told this one before because they didn't know how the interviews would go. interview5: performance: simple instance trouble shooting questions+ coding : arrange character by frequencies (easy). both interviewers were New grads/hires. interview6: QA: coding question but interview was struggling with C++ syntax. interview
