Colloquio
The recruiter for this position did a horrendous job. I'm a software developer and this guy contacts me by telling me about SRE position. I was actually looking for jobs and thought interview at Apple was a good chance. However , what he failed to tell me was that they are looking for people with SRE experience, which I clearly don't have. Long story short, I get a technical phone screen which I cleared easily. They get me onsite. This is where the fun starts. The hiring manager directly asks me, "We are looking for a person with experience in SRE, why are you even here? Who did your phone screen?" I mean, really!!!. I really got annoyed. I finish my day long interviews(which ironically went well in my opinion ). The manager gives me his email ID and so does one more interviewer(and I thought it was a good sign). The recruiter (who by the way is very unresponsive and behaves as if he is the hiring manager) emails me asking me to fill 2-3 pages long questionnaire (which is a waste of time, given that they are going to reject me anyways), so I hoped that a positive result would come. 1 week later, I was browsing through jobs in Linkedin and guess what, I saw the exact same job posting (posted a day ago). This really pissed me off and I sent a mail to the recruiter, who then sent a template email of rejection immediately.If they already had the result, don't they have the courtesy to inform it to me after wasting weeks of my time? I wasted 3 weeks of my life on this useless job. Never going to apply to Apple again for the way they treated me.

Beware of fake interviews
I was interviewing for a position that I was told was the last headcount for the team. The process was quite long, involving six rounds of onsite interviews. The interviewers seemed a bit unprepared, and the conversations felt more like they were going through the motions rather than genuinely assessing my skills for an open role.
After about a month, I was rejected without any specific feedback. Shortly after, the same recruiter started reaching out to me about other job openings I had not applied for. This made me feel like the initial interview process may have been for a position that was already filled, and my candidacy was used to "pump up the numbers."
I've heard from others that this can be a pattern. If you notice signs like unnecessary interview rounds, repetitive questions, a position being described as the "last headcount," or unprepared interviewers, it's a strong sign the position has already been filled. It might be time to move on to other opportunities.

After sending in the application, I received an email to schedule a call with a developer from the US. Pretty standard Leetcode questions on efficiency and understanding basic logic. The interview included a live coding session and ended pretty quickly.
