I was referred by a current Apple employee.

The recruiters were very quick and responsive during the whole process.

It took less than two days to schedule the first interview after I was referred.

The interview process consisted of:

• A one-hour phone screen
• A four-hour virtual onsite interview

Each interview focused on a different question or problem.

All problems were solved or worked through using pseudocode; I never actually had to run any code.

There were no behavioral interviews, other than a few teamwork questions sprinkled into the technical interviews.

I was asked some basic string parsing and caching design questions. Nothing beyond a medium-difficulty question on LeetCode.
