I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Jul 2023
Interview
Went through two rounds of phone interviews but not moving forward. The questions were mostly based on my technical background including research and work experience. The most concerning part was that they asked the employee to be on-site and not accept remote working options.

This was a contract position, so there was 3 steps:
1. Phone call with recruiter

3. Take home assignment + previous data analysis projects
The take-home assignment was an exercise package containing 3 questions. At the end, the hiring manager wanted to see excerpts of personal data analysis that I've done in the past.
