Engineering Manager Interview Experience - Hyderābād, India
Process
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.
First round with the hiring manager went well. The system design round was also positive. However, the third skip‑level round was very disappointing. The interviewer seemed rushed, often cut me off, and showed visible frustration instead of listening. In my view, this behavior felt unprofessional and not aligned with the interview standards I expected at Apple.
