Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I received two emails from recruiters who stated they had roles that matched my profile and asked about my availability. After responding to them, one recruiter never replied.

I scheduled a phone interview with the other recruiter. This interview was primarily for screening questions, such as work authorization, and to arrange an interview with the hiring manager.

Before the scheduled interview day, I was informed that the hiring manager had a conflict, and I rescheduled.

Several days later, I was told that the job specification had changed and that they were now looking for someone who could start in the winter.

Interviewing for Apple has been a complete waste of my time, and I do not recommend anyone go through it.
