3 interviews, very straight forward . With the manager, with the director, with the CTO. Each lasted 1 hour each . HR round was the 1st one . On call and in person
I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (Sacramento, CA)
Interview
I had to meet with the initial recruiter and it went well I thought. I never got a call back and it was frustrating to say the least. I no longer like Apple.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cary, NC) in May 2023
Interview
There were 3 rounds. First was a behavioral interview with the hiring manager. Then a question & answer/“trivia” technical round with another manager in the org. The last round was 2 system design interviews, 2 coding interviews, and another interview with the hiring manager.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
System Design: how would you design a “top songs” feature in a platform like Apple Music that would update each hour with the hottest/top/trending songs
