The first round was an introduction with the Apple recruiter. The second round was a conversation with the hiring manager about projects on my resume and the position.
I was cut at the third interview, which was about another project on my resume and a coding question. I was told the question had to be completed in 30 minutes.
I planned the solution but could not finish the coding. I prefer thoroughly planning solutions before writing code, and it seems they preferred a quick but buggy solution.
I got the impression they would rather spend time debugging over planning, so I definitely was not a good fit for this position.
Asked about projects and a coding question from LeetCode.
