Process
I had two rounds of interviews.
The first was a 45-minute semi-technical interview. I passed that and made it to the final round.
The final round was a three-hour block with an interview with an engineer, the hiring manager, and an early-career hire.
After completing that, I was ghosted for five weeks.

High-profile, high-intensity work. Incredible opportunity to learn, but it can be very demanding
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Cupertino, California, United States
June 18, 2008
Pros: Quite simply, you make some of the best and most talked-about products in the world. Superb upper management and a great place to learn and develop. The culture is very diverse, and you work with some absolutely brilliant people. Ultimately, you go home every day knowing you work for a company whose products really get people excited.
Cons: Slightly older demographic. A low churn rate can make it hard to rise quickly. Most large-scale design and strategy decisions are left entirely out of the hands of engineers, which can be frustrating. An aggressive culture can be off-putting to some. Work-life balance can get out of whack after high-profile deadlines.
