Process
The interview process involved four FaceTime interviews:
- The first and last were purely behavioral.
- The middle two were technical, with behavioral questions sprinkled in.
Every employee I spoke with made sure I received thoughtful answers to all my questions. It seemed like Apple prioritizes how well you'll work within your team's dynamic, not just strong technical skills.
