Software Engineer Interview Experience - Cupertino, California
Process
Phone interviews were standard fare, featuring programming puzzles, algorithms, and similar tasks—nothing out of the ordinary. The onsite interview, however, was a much different story. Everyone was fairly rude and condescending. The general sentiment was: "Apple embodies greatness. You should be very happy that we've deigned to grant you a small part of our time."
