5-10 minutes phone interview with Apex who hire for Apple. Interviewer was very kind and made me remain calm. Basic GIS terminologies and previous work experience in GIS were the main focus during the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Difference between Vector and Raster? Geocoding and Georeferencing differences? How would you go about analysing big data of all US colleges given a certain point? how would you confirm town/city address? What layers would you include in a web mapping application for giving directions?
The interview was a three-person interview, and each interview was 20 minutes per person. Overall, the interview was easy, and not that much prep time was needed. I would recommend people to apply.
I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2020
Interview
Interview via Apex -- technical and short interviewing process. I heard back from my recruiter within a week. Recruiter preps with you before you interview with hiring manager. It's easy if you have a background in GIS
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Oakland, CA) in Sept 2019
Interview
very chill, they asked about my experience with GIS, and asked me to answer a few technical question. I was hired by a recruiter and feel as though they would have hired anyone really, but since I am a women they were more likely to hire me to meet numbers
