I was interviewed by someone from Apple on campus but was not chosen to proceed with that team. He seemed to have passed my resume around, and I heard back from two other teams that were interested in interviewing me.

I had a very rough first phone interview with one of the two managers, but I passed to the second round. I then had three back-to-back 45-minute interviews on CoderPad. All three were technical, though none asked me to compile my code.

I heard back two days later through a phone call that I had received an offer! I've interviewed with Apple before, and back then it took them three weeks before they gave me a "no." I think they move really fast when they're actually interested in you but quite slow otherwise.

Overall, it was still a really good experience. I learned a lot about the environment and expectations through the interviews. The interviewers were very friendly; one of them was especially nice and encouraging, even when I couldn't answer a question in full.
