Process
First, the HR email.
The initial round was super easy. It was just some screening and easy Python questions.
The second round was about their projects. I didn't make it through the second round interview.

Great place to work
Software Engineer • Current Employee
August 15, 2009
Pros: There is no "busy-work" at Apple. Everything is done for very good reasons -- there is no wasted work. You're proud of what you do, and people you meet outside of Apple really care about what you do.
Cons: Potentially long hours. Long lines at the cafeteria? But other than that, there's no apparent downside to working at Apple.
