I interviewed for an Engineering Manager role at Apple in May of 2022. Overall, it was a good experience, and the recruiter was helpful throughout the process. Below is a summary (including timeline) of the interview process I went through.

Day 0: Applied online directly via the Apple career page.

Day 4: First contact from the recruiter. They emailed to set up a time with the hiring manager.

Day 13: Met with the hiring manager. A 30-minute chat to discuss my background and learn more about the team.

Day 20: Technical screening with a Senior Engineer on the team. Discussed my background briefly, and they provided some background on the team. Then we went into a CoderPad question (given an array, find duplicates).

Day 33: Full virtual "onsite" loop. Seven interviews:

• Three behavioral (tell me about a project you are proud of, discuss how you work with product partners, etc.).
• Two coding (design a course scheduler, design a method to find available meeting times).
• Two design (design a voice assistant to provide weather services, design a backend processing layer for logging data from a web page).

Day 38: A 30-minute interview with the (would-be) skip-level manager. Mostly focused on background and management style.

Day 47: No offer.

Design method to find the first available slot for a meeting between multiple parties.

Design method to support a course scheduling backend.
