Process

I had my first-round interview for a Software Engineer role at Apple on the IS&T Team and was rejected after that round.

They asked a DSA question on the sliding window technique, with a follow-up optimized approach, which I had some difficulty with.

I think you should be able to answer everything perfectly to qualify for the next round.
