Supply Base Engineer Interview Experience - Cupertino, California
Process
My contact with Apple started with a recruiter who reached out via LinkedIn. We discussed my resume and some of the open positions at Apple. I expressed interest in several of these roles.
From there, my resume was shared with different hiring managers to gauge their interest. Two different teams expressed interest.
Following this, 30-minute phone interviews were set up with both teams. Subsequently, I was invited to interview in person with both teams. Apple covers all expenses, including flights, rental cars, and hotel accommodations.
The onsite interviews are more intense. You'll be in a room with a whiteboard for back-to-back 30-minute interviews with various team members. This process typically lasts about six hours and covers a wide range of topics through diverse questions.
