Process

The interview process was very simple and straightforward.

The first step was an email exchange with one of the recruiters, who scheduled a first technical phone interview.

After clearing the first round, the recruiter scheduled a second technical round, which involved screen sharing.

After clearing the second interview, I was invited to Apple for the final interview. It started at 9:45 am and ended around 5:15 pm. There were 8 rounds, all of which were technical.

Unfortunately, I didn't clear the final interview. I wanted this job as Apple is one of my dream companies, but it's fine.

I really got a chance to meet all smart people; they were all very good and supportive.

First Phone Round: General questions about JavaScript, Ruby, and CSS.

Second Phone Round: SQL queries, CSS specificity, Ruby "&" vs "and", and the hoisting effect in JavaScript.

I am eager to share all the questions to help others pursue their dream at Apple. I hope this might help some. :)

How would you do it in one week, keeping in mind that the results from these 100 teams are in different formats, so your API should be able to work with all the different formats.
