I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Apple
Interview
Got contacted by recruiter. Start with a coding test screening, followed by a coding interview on phone.
The screening test was a few very simple questions with a time limit of 1hr. After that recruiter schedule a phone interview with coderpad.
Asked to write an algorithm then start by asking the correctness of the algorithm and rigorous proof on each line of code. The interviewers didn't pay a lot of respect, trying to pressurize you by challenging your proof and asked trivial questions when you wanted to justify each step in the algorithm.
A pretty toxic part imo was that they tried to embarrass or intimidate you by making fun of your own statement. What they did was recapping your statement in a funny tone and asked if you even understood what you were saying which I think was quite toxic.
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.
The interview was easy, we talked about technical stuff in-depth: os, drivers. If they think you know something, they would ask you till they find where your knowledge ends. So be ready
