      Software Development Engineer In Test (Core OS SDET) Interview

      5 Sept 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Cupertino, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in May 2016

      Interview

      Recruiter reached out to me and scheduled a 30 min phone interview with the hiring manager. In the phone interview the manager asked me about NVMe IO process and some basic functionalities of FTL in the NAND memory systems. Then I was called for an on site interview. About 5/6 people interviewed me for ~45 mins each. Most of the questions were about basic scripting in Python. The that was confusing for me is that if this position was so much about scripting then I am not sure why they were looking for someone from NAND memory systems background. That being said, I was not asked a single question on NAND or protocol level questions such as SATA/NVMe at the on site interview date. There were some open ended questions as well which I believe I didn't do well.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Scripting questions in Python like, parse a csv file and extract the name, phone numebers, emails into a dict.
