Software Engineer Interview Experience - Los Angeles, California
Process
First, I was contacted by an Apple recruiter who said he had found me via my application to their jobs page.
The recruiter was very nice and asked about my background and interests so he could match me with specific Apple teams that were consistent with my skills and interests.
Then, I interviewed with software engineering teams from two different locations. They were both very nice, and the interview was laid-back. It pretty much consisted of them asking me questions through the phone about certain topics.
