Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
The first stage was a very normal by-phone chat.
The technical assessment was a fail on Apple's end: their online assessment app itself experienced a fault, blocking compilation of all code. There was no way to complete the assessment.

Great place, but doesn't work for everyone
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Cupertino, California, United States
June 18, 2015
Pros: Top projects, you are on the cutting edge of technologies. Excellent environment, very smart and brilliant colleagues. You have everything you need to become one of the world's top specialists if you use the chance.
Cons: Alas, some of those smart colleagues are sometimes arrogant.
With no formal hierarchy in many teams, everyone is formally equal, but as it always happens in situations like this, "some are more equal than others".
If you are new to the team and don't silently listen to those who have been longer in the company than you and start to dispute and ask "why", chances are you won't be well accepted and won't stay there for long.
