Senior Software Engineer (Ic4) Interview Experience - Cupertino, California

Positive ExperienceGot Offer
Process
Very hard. I met 10 people on site and waited 6 months after to get my offer.
You literally have to get 9 out of 10 positive feedback in order to get an offer. That's why it takes so long for Apple to hire a candidate.
