I applied through other source. I interviewed at Apple (Cambridge, MA) in Nov 2025
Interview
It was pretty simple background + coding round, but Apple interviews can be ambiguous because the format depends on the team and you don’t know specifics/how to best prepare in advance.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about your background and relevant projects to the role. Then deep dive into the most relevant ML project currently working on.
Very routine interview. Was asked to pick a relevant paper of my choice and explain/answer specific questions about it. The interviewer asked in depth questions from the paper and seemed like they had a deep understanding of the technical material. Pleasant experience overall. This was the first round. Heard back in a couple of weeks for the next rounds. Also was asked behavioral questions.

The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Apple in Jan 2024
Interview
A phone call interview for a contractor position. Just with a non-technical recruiter, don't think she understood the field very well. After the initial interview was ghosted for a month before having another interview which I didn't hear back from.
