Interview process was good, though it was relatively hard compared to other companies. Waited for months for a decision, eventually withdrew from the process. . . . . . . .
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Apple in Oct 2021
Interview
I was setup for failure from the very start. The recruiter didn't mention that it would be swift specific interview so I spent days prepping with LC and system design, only to get hit with swift-ui specific questions. The interviewers were mad at me for bothering them on a Friday afternoon. Their condescending tone haunts me every time I close my eyes. I got berated for not knowing stuff that I didn't get a chance to prep for. All of this could have been avoided with some clear communication from the recruiter/team about what they were expecting from me during the interview. For the sake of my mental health, if this is the tone of an Apple SWE Intern interview, I will stay away from this company for the foreseeable future.
