I applied online. I interviewed at Apple in Nov 2021
Interview
Surprisingly really easy. I applied to a posting online. A recruiter reached out and we never actually got on a call. He had me fill out a questionnaire with basic stuff like salary expectations and do you need sponsorship etc. after that I got a tech screen scheduled. Basic leet code style with questions at the end. But the question was super easy easy. Given 2 sorted arrays return a sorted array with all elements. For this I initialized and array of size a + b and did a pointer at the start of a and b and added the smaller element until one of the pointers passed the arrays length. Then filled in remaining elements. Then I was notified I passed and moved to another tech screen. Same style but they asked me to do the Max profit stock problem. Super easy. I was prepared for hard tree and graph problems lol. Engineers were really friendly. Great experience so far. Moving to final loop next week.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Feb 2018
Interview
2 phone calls. 1 onsite (8 45 min interviews).
Managers were unprofessional and not on time. Out of 8 interviews, 3 were late which impacted the interview results.
Consistently overworked with > 45 hour weeks.
I do not recommend the CoreOS team.
They asked me a few technical questions, followed by a behavioral round. This was then followed by a take home coding assignment. I completed this assignment but was ultimately rejected from the position.
