I had nine (9) interviews over two months. They have asked me everything they possibly could. Leadership, project management, coding, on-call troubleshooting under pressure, another coding interview and two interviews with senior director of engineering in the US and finally one more with hiring manager.
They called me, said I passed all the interviews. I did really well and they have no negative feedback. I was then told that the role I applied for went to another candidate with more domain experience, but there is a “place for me at Apple in London”.
I was then ghosted and multiple follow up emails to talent team led to nothing. After all that time commitment to get ghosted is just poor. I am disappointed in the company whose products I love. It’s just poor. If something changed and there is no more role - just be honest about it.

Domanda 1
- Users reporting they cannot view photos on iCloud. You are on call engineer for that service. Troubleshoot the problem.
- Leadership questions were all focused on providing examples where you had to do something like motivate team with low morale, deliver feature you don’t agree with, etc.
- Project management questions were about how you prioritise work and what tools and methodologies you use. In my case it were OKRs, roadmaps, etc.
Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un'altra fonte. La procedura ha richiesto 3 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Apple (Austin, TX) nel mese di ago 2024
Colloquio
i received a Linkedin message from an Apple recruiter. We scheduled a call and then an interview was scheduled with the hiring manager. The interview was a zoom interview. The interview only lasted 30 minutes. From the start of the interview before we even talked the manager was not really interested in the conversation. I asked questions and he gave one-sentence responses.
