Process
I went to Apple's event on campus, and a recruiter contacted me the next day, telling me I got an interview.
It was very casual and mostly behavioral questions, involved demonstrating my past projects, and talking about my experiences.
Keep in mind I am a college freshman, so this is not the usual case.
Questions
In the end, the recruiter, who turned to the project manager, informed me of my lack of experience. She expressed a sincere desire to keep an eye out for me, so I will definitely apply next year with more experience under my belt.

Apple Work Experiences
- 3.0Overall, a pretty good place. Some really great people are here!Software Engineer • Former EmployeeCupertino, California, United StatesApril 7, 2014Pros: I worked here for a few years. From what I heard, things seem to be pretty team-dependent. I ended up really loving my team, however. And, I always had awesome, awesome, awesome managers that I truly love. I never had to deal with politics here (although, again, team dependent). Benefits were pretty good, and I was able to balance work/life pretty well.Cons: I was a little unsatisfied with the work. I didn't really feel challenged. Additionally – and I realize this is quite petty – but hearing about the free and delicious food and on-site perks at Google didn't help. There is quite a lack of frivolous perks that you have at other tech companies. On a more serious note, the company culture doesn't seem very collaborative. I didn't really feel like I was part of anything big ever, or part of a bigger team than my own.

- 5.0Great place to workSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeJune 6, 2022Pros: A very flexible place to work.Cons: Nothing really bad about this place.
