Phone call with the manager. We just talked, no technical stuff. He asked how I was at Linux and stuff. Cool guy overall. The HR mized up times though and he called me at a very inconvenient time, so I was a little uncomfortable doing the interview. I talked to the manager but wasn't really inclined to proceed to further interviews
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.
J'ai passé un entretien chez Apple (Santa Clara, CA)
Entretien
The interview process was well-structured and professional. It included multiple technical rounds covering computer architecture, digital design concepts, SystemVerilog, and coding questions. The recruiters were very communicative and responsive throughout the entire process. Overall a good experience.

Il colloquio in Apple è fortemente basato su domande comportamentali con il metodo STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result). Gli intervistatori chiedono esempi concreti tratti dall’esperienza lavorativa per valutare competenze come orientamento al cliente, collaborazione, leadership, gestione dei conflitti, problem solving e capacità di adattamento. È importante rispondere in modo strutturato, spiegando il contesto, il proprio ruolo, le azioni intraprese e i risultati ottenuti. Le domande tendono ad approfondire situazioni reali vissute dal candidato piuttosto che conoscenze teoriche o risposte generiche. L’atmosfera è generalmente professionale ma cordiale, con particolare attenzione ai valori aziendali e all’esperienza del cliente.
