Recruiter reached out and set up a phone call with a team manager. They moved me forward and I had a technical interview with a team member. It's been weeks, recruiter still has yet to respond even after follow ups and telling me they will let me know. Very unprofessional.

Question 1
Python and C++ questions in live code sharing window
Linkedin recruiter for 30 mins -> hiring manager for 1 hr -> coding tech interview for 1 hr
then no further process
even though there is no offer, but Apple's people are all pretty nice
Overall terrible experience. Was mis-scheduled back to back in a different time zone than the interviewer by the same coordinator. When asked about interviewing for a certain level, was told "it was a stretch", despite having interviews for the same level at F, G, the other A, and U (which are all more senior according to levels.fyi).
For the phone interview, was asked 2 easy LeetCode questions. When solving question 1, the interviewer could not be convinced that I had the optimal solution despite prolonged discussions about the runtime and space complexity. They instead proposed a solution that had the same runtime but used more space. The discussion eventually lead to an attitude on the interviewer's side of "hey let's just move on." (Yes, I double checked the question on LeetCode following the interview to make sure I didn't accidentally miss anything. I was indeed correct about the runtime and space complexity of the approaches that were considered).

Do you know how to calculate runtime and space complexity?
