J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Apple (Santa Clara, CA) en oct. 2014
Entretien
Agreed to meet on-site in Santa Clara. Stood outside, apparently interviewer was waiting at a different door. He offered water. After going into the interview room had a whiteboard coding session. It involved creating a Java function to find the smallest number in an array. They emphasized communication with the interviewer who I would be working with. They were flexible and helpful during this point. After there were questions about Big O notation and Machine Learning. After the interview, in the parking lot, he started asking me about previous jobs I held.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Open-ended Machine Learning question involving comparing data. There was a strong impression that they were fishing for a specific answer, or expecting something without providing much context.
Around 2 months after I submitted my resume for Apple software engineer position, I got a call from the hiring manager. He asked me what was the good day for the interview. It took half day for meeting 5 people. It was long hour interview for me. Each interviewer spent ~ 30 minutes and asked ~ 4 questions. Each interviewer asked questions in the different areas.
6 rounds. 1 Technical Screening. Then onsite loop consisted of 4 rounds of behavioral, 2 technicals, and 1 sys design. Had an additional Hiring Manager round since I was borderline.
