Apple Interview Questions

I applied online. The process took 8+ months. I interviewed at Apple (Minneapolis, MN (US)) in July 2013.

Interview

Very pleasant recruiters. First a phone interview that took about 15 minutes. Followed by two Skype interviews; first with a recruiter after that with a manager.
Basic trouble shooting questions. They want to really get to know you as a person.
Just be yourself and don't be afraid to be geeky/nerdy! Make sure you have a desk and dedicated home phone line.

With an Apple detail job, there is a weed out and 5 interviews. I only went to three interview since I already knew some people on the inside. All of the interviewers we super nice and made you feel comfortable with them.

There was no negotiation necessary. The pay is more than reasonable, and benefits are unlike I've ever seen before.

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA (US)) in September 2013.

Interview

At Apple I believe all interviews are tag team in other words there are at least two managers from different departments: the one you were going to work for and the one you were going to serve. There are also senior employees from the Department you'll be working alongside. One member from Human Resources also will be part of the interview. But this interview process is approximately 3 to 4 hours long, each individual gets approximately 45 minutes to an hour with you so you'll have to be prepared for a long process. How are the accommodations and the room are plush, I don't know if that makes you less or more nervous. This information is not a part of the process but I feel it's very important and as looking down I don't see this question the draft which would be dressed very casually I don't suggest wearing a tie. By that I mean nice jeans loafers and maybe a polo shirt or a button up shirt.

Interview

The Contracting company's director, NTropic for me, reached out to me after I applied to the general opening at NTropic asking if I would be interested in contracting with Apple. After he passed my resume and portfolio over to the Apple creative director, there was a short phone interview with the two directors from each company and I got hired.

Found by a recruiter. I interviewed the next week with the supervising attorney. The interview was fairly informal and lasted about 20 minutes. On the drive home, I received a call from the recruiter that Apple extended me an offer.

Negotiation

Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Tampa, FL (US)) in May 2018.

Interview

2 phone screens and some email chains back and forth. The phone interviews were not only technical but cultural, but I had found this opportunity through a CTF competition sponsored by Apple at a hackathon. They seemed very nice and enthusiastic about their work and give really good feedback. I did not get a direct offer due to timing but they said they wanted to extend an offer either for the fall or upon graduation, as it was for an intership.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA (US)) in January 2018.

Interview

After being recruited directly, internally from Apple and getting compliments like "your skill set looks like an ideal fit for what we would like to match you up with, found myself speaking to the hiring manager on the phone about 2 days later. She was 45 minutes late to our phone interviewing and after talking for about 25 minutes, she said "let's have you come in to meet the team." They raised my hopes like it was if I was already hired. It took the recruiter nearly 2 months to find a 3 hour block of time that would fit the schedules of 5 different people that the hiring manager wanted me to meet. The second person that I interviewed with kept looking at his phone and was not fully engaged. This is rude in my opinion. The last person I met, the hiring manager, came 15 minutes late, told me, "I'm sorry, but I'm tripled booked today," and only had 10 minutes to talk to me. The most important person that wanted to meet me didn't have time for me. WTF? This interview process felt more like they were trying to collect data on what my industry is currently doing so that they can emulate a better workflows for their own operations. The whole process felt forced. All five employee interviewers didn't or couldn't reveal Apple's intention or mission for the creation of this position.
