Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. El proceso tomó 5 días. Acudí a una entrevista en Apple (Cupertino, CA) en oct 2010
Entrevista
The phone interview consisted of just questions about my past work experience. Then got called for an on-site interview. The interview lasted 5 hrs with 30 min interviews with 10 people, including one with HR. Most of the questions were about my past experience here as well. Included a lot of drawing on the white board to explain the architecture of software I had worked on. There were some programming questions as well, which were quite simple, like code for fibonacci series and factorial using both recursive and non-recursive methods, counting the number of 1s in a variable, writing code for a circular buffer. Also had questions on OS, like memory management, interrupt handling, preemption etc. I thought I did well, but did not receive an offer.
Write code for generating a factorial/fibonacci for a given number using both recursive and non-recursive methods. Advantages and disadvantages of each method.
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.
6 rounds. 1 Technical Screening. Then onsite loop consisted of 4 rounds of behavioral, 2 technicals, and 1 sys design. Had an additional Hiring Manager round since I was borderline.
