Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I went through three rounds of interviews:

  • A phone screen with a recruiter
  • A longer technical interview over the phone
  • A half-day on-site consisting of several interviews with different members of the team I applied for.

Unlike a previous interview process with Apple, the final interview for my on-site was with the head of the organization I’d applied for. The questions covered a broad variety of areas, from CS fundamentals to application architecture to Cocoa design patterns.

I was ultimately not hired and encouraged to brush up on CS fundamentals before applying again.
