The process took me more than two weeks, overwhelming not because of the interview itself, but due to all kinds of paperwork between three parties.

A recruiter from Apple saw my resume on LinkedIn and reached out to me first. After three screening steps with the recruiter, including:

• A phone interview
• A skill test quiz
• A video-call technical skill test

They offered me the position and brought me to an on-site tryout day at Apple for one day.

During the one-week wait for the tryout results, my inbox was spammed every single day with all information relating to the position: offer letter, salary negotiation, benefit information, California labor law, tax forms, etc.

Then, I received an email saying that I did not pass the tryout test and they did not have any feedback to share about my performance either. I never heard anything from them since then.

During my tryout day, I was assigned some work related to my applied position, which is, of course, confidential and cannot be shared.
