I interviewed for an internship in an SRE team.

The interview process had three stages:

1. A 15-minute phone screen to discuss your profile (resume exclusively).
2. A 45-minute coding interview.
3. A 45-minute interview on Apple's cultural attributes.

Advice: Train hard on LeetCode and make sure to optimize your solutions (use appropriate data structures!).

Phone screen: Speak about your experience at X. What were your projects?

Now that it’s done, what would you do differently if you could do it again or continue?

Coding Interview: Two people (one with a muted camera who takes notes + one who interacts with you and asks questions).

30 minutes of coding: Interleaving String (medium).

10 minutes of questions:

• What is a Docker container (components)?
• What’s the difference between a Docker container and a VM?
• Personal question: What is your greatest accomplishment?

5 minutes to ask questions to the interviewer.

Apple cultural attributes interview: 45 minutes.

No behavioral questions like in an AWS behavioral interview.

Questions in recent internship/experience: Explaining what you did (responsibilities). Why this subject? Importance of your project for the company. Ask questions to understand every aspect of your project: What did you do (planning)? Explaining what tools you used. Data collection and processing, ETL, storage, scripting, etc.
