I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Apple (Bengaluru) in Aug 2020
Interview
WORST INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE I EVER HAD. Had a call scheduled with 2 people from the team. They didn't even bother to introduce themselves. Asked me to introduce myself and asked few details about my different projects - Nothing technical, but didn't even let me finish my sentences. One person had a scowl on his face the entire time and a superior than thou attitude. Ended the call in the same unprofessional way it started, not even a customary HR will get back to you. Never heard anything back, would have rejected it myself even if I did. You really need to treat prospect employees better, definitely not a behavior I'd expected from FAANG company!
I applied online. I interviewed at Apple in Jul 2020
Interview
Had initial interview with recruiter, then had a manager interview with basic behavioral/data engineering questions. Then had a medium leetcode technical phone interview with a member of the team.
The interesting part was the manager really wanted me to interview in Java, but my preferred language was Python. During the tech interview, I asked if i could answer the question in Python, interviewer agreed and eventually answered the question.
After the interview, I emailed recruiter, thanked him, and never heard a word from him again. I only assume it was a decline.
I'm interviewing with other FAANG companies and Apple is by far the worst experience. I feel like they set you up for failure.
