I applied through other source. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Jan 2022
Interview
It was a contract to hire situation so it was fairly seamless. I had been doing the job for a few years at that point, so I already knew the hiring manager and all of the people on the team. The hiring manager approached me and assessed interest and I had a few phone calls with a recruiter negotiating pay. They were pretty stringent and didn't fully meet my pay expectations, which was a little frustrating but overall the process was fairly easy and I didn't go through a formal interview channel.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Apr 2026
Interview
Reached out by HR for initial screening by HM. Interviewed with HM for 30 mins. Brief intro followed by questions on background & the work I have done and the product I have launched. Career trajectory
Best interview process I had in years. Very professional and went all the way to the last round. Disappointed I didn't get an offer but it was a great experience.
Behavioral interviews and case question at the end testing storytelling, the final presentation can be on any topic it’s very Apple. People are very kind and it’s culture driven not typical case questions.
