Software Development Engineer IV Interview Experience - Cupertino, California
Process
The process started with two telephonic rounds focusing on algorithmic questions. A week later, I was invited for an onsite interview.
There were six interview rounds, lasting approximately five hours. Most of these focused on design and algorithm questions.
There was no response for three to four days after the interview. I followed up later. I assume they were interviewing other candidates during this period.
