Software Quality Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
Phone screening and CoderPad interview.
The phone screen went great. The CoderPad interview, however, went downhill fast. The interviewer was extremely condescending and made me feel super uncomfortable the entire time, making odd comments about my coding and learning style throughout the interview.
To end the interview, she literally just hung up the phone. That was the last I heard from them.

Apple Work Experiences
- 5.0Fulfilling work. Lots of work. Highly team-dependentSoftware Quality Engineer • Current EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesDecember 23, 2024Pros: Preface: I was never an Apple fanboy. I didn't even use Apple products before working there. Some of my proudest work I've done: * Great benefits and pay. * Quality and customer-impact focus aligns with my values, as opposed to cost-cutting focused companies. * Challenging atmosphere working with some brilliant minds. * I've had the opportunity to be visible to upper management up to VP level. * With good management, it is possible to manage the workload. I've been able to improve my work-life balance by collaborating with my manager.Cons: - Experience can vary greatly depending on team/manager. I've heard some horror stories. - "You're here to do your life's best work" is a motto you hear a lot. It seems positive, but it's used to keep you working hard. It's also used to shoot down more remote days or a 4-day work week. - A lot of people do drink the Kool-Aid, which is a bit off-putting. - The interview process is an odyssey that can wear down applicants and current employees.
