I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2025
Interview
Very team-dependent, fast process. Two leetcode easies, but process focused a lot on generally discussing your technical experience related to the team. I think they really look for fit and conversation flow, way more than rigorous technical interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me more about your Operating Systems experience?
A university recruiter reached out to me via email to request availability for an interview with the cartography team. Two weeks later, I met with the hiring manager to discuss my experience and interests.
First round was 30 minute technical discussion with hiring manager. Good experience but did not move forward. 15 minutes on my past internship experience. 15 minutes on how I would build an agent. Recruiter reached out 2 months later.
Only the behavioral round, but it was very interesting to say the least. Was asked the basic STAR questions but it turned into a very good conversation. Know your resume inside out and be prepared to talk about yourself.
