I applied through other source. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA)
Interview
Very nice interviewer, questions were easy to medium leetcode with a slight focus on system design and optimized solutions. Was able to solve both questions within the timeframe with time for follow up questions
The interview process starts with an initial HR phone call to discuss background, role fit, and logistics. This is followed by a first-round technical interview with an engineer on the team, which focuses on hands-on problem solving and code-level discussions.
