      Software Engineer Interview

      May 29, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (London, England) in May 2017

      Interview

      The process was straight forward until I got to the face to face bit. I had a phone screen, had some chats with the recruiter, everything really responsive. I went to the face to face bit. I was taken directly to the room that I would spend the interview in, I was offered water and coffee. I guess this is where the good bits stop. I had 6 people come in, in pairs of two. Each asked 2 questions over the course of an hour. 1 related to algorithms the other design one (not system design). After this was done I was escorted out of the building. I didn't get a chance to ask any questions, the people seemed really rigid and condescending at times. I noted that one of the questions that I was asked came up in the phone interview, the interviewer had to go out and get a coffee while he thought of something else. The design ones didn't have a goal and I felt that the interviewers didn't know where they wanted to go with them. I don't interview much, but this was the worst one I've been at.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Apple

      Interview

      Around 2 months after I submitted my resume for Apple software engineer position, I got a call from the hiring manager. He asked me what was the good day for the interview. It took half day for meeting 5 people. It was long hour interview for me. Each interviewer spent ~ 30 minutes and asked ~ 4 questions. Each interviewer asked questions in the different areas.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Apple (London, England)

      Interview

      The interview was easy, we talked about technical stuff in-depth: os, drivers. If they think you know something, they would ask you till they find where your knowledge ends. So be ready
