Process
It was a great experience. - CoreOS Team
Initial screening with manager:
- Basics of object-oriented programming and some basic OS questions.
After that, I had 6 rounds of onsite interviews via WebEx:
- Round 1: One basic coding question and discussion about my resume and Object-Oriented Programming.
- Round 2: Since it was a test engineer role, I was asked to define various test cases and explain how I would handle them.
- Round 3: Two linked list questions.
- Round 4: Resume discussion and one coding question.
- Round 5: Dynamic memory allocation implementation.
- Round 6: General discussion with the senior manager.
Questions
Some of the questions:
- Fibonacci series
- Reversal of Linkedlist
- Bitwise AND of all numbers between (a, b) where a < b and a & b are integers

Join Apple Bengaluru as a contractor only if you are jobless
Software Test Engineer • Former Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Pros: Nothing if you are a contractor.
Cons: Review is only meant for Contractor roles:
1. You will be called as a contractor in mail and verbal communication.
2. Contractors are not allowed to sit with permanent employees, even if there is a vacant place amongst badged employees. You have to adjust like you do in the sleeper class of Indian Railways. Apartheid!
3. They have some legal constraints which prevent them from directly interacting with contractors, so they have appointed different managers/leads for contractors, which complicates communication as every contractor has to deal with two sets of leads.
4. The manager relies on spying and micromanagement to control the team. You have to mention the number of hours spent on each activity on a daily basis, apart from filling timesheets. The leads for contractors are nothing but spy agents.
5. Verbal threats of termination on a regular basis by the manager.
6. The manager has neither any experience nor knowledge of testing, but she has still been made manager because she is the favorite of the Apple manager.
7. Chances of conversion only if you are an ex-employee of HP, because the Apple manager is also ex-HP. Most of the permanent employees are ex-HP.
8. Bootlicking is a must to get her blessings.
