Software Engineering Manager Interview Experience - United States

June 1, 2021
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I went through two rounds of interviews and decided to drop out because of an awful interview experience.

Interview Stages:

  • Recruiter Outreach
  • Conversation with Hiring Manager
  • Coding Round using CoderPad

Questions

Step 1 & Step 2: Your Experience and getting to know you better.

Step 3: Random stuff and no mention of coding exercise or whatsoever.

It's your Day 1 at Apple, and someone reaches out with a production issue, and there are no devs around. How would you solve the issue? (Since we are very hands-on here, we expect managers to code).

How do you transfer a text file from one source to another so that data don't get compromised?
