a resume screen, a recruiter phone screen, a technical phone screen (often including coding challenges), and a full-day onsite interview with multiple technical, system design, and behavioral rounds. The process varies by team and role, but preparation should focus on data structures, algorithms, system design, and demonstrating strong problem-solving, communication, and cultural fit.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to make a decision with a lot of ambiguity
It was quick, just a couple of rounds, ended up going with another offer on total comp. People seemed unrelated to the team I would end up working on had I accepted the offer, but very smart nonetheless.

Question 1
Typical leetcode easy as well as a behavioral round
I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2024
Interview
The interview spanned a behavioral round followed by multiple technical rounds, ranging from LeetCode-style coding to full systems design. Was given an extra final technical round when Apple could not narrow down the candidates, and was ghosted afterwards.
