Mixed bag, but overall a good place to work
Mixed bag, but overall a good place to work
The people and the ability to work on products that benefit a billion people are the main draws.
Apple is very cheap with benefits, with providing the tools you need to do your job, and with substandard cafeteria food (compared to other tech companies). The pay is significantly lower than its competitors. There is no encouragement of work/life balance.

Integration Engineer
I conducted five interviews, each with a different person in the chain of command, until I reached the VP. The interviews were nice and interesting, but the questions really had nothing to do with the work.

Three phone interviews, one in-person 8-hour interview, and then one final FaceTime interview. Mostly technical questions. Total of 7 one-on-one sessions, each an hour long. One presentation session in between, with 45 minutes for slides and 15 mi

Overall smooth. Had 3 interviews: one behavioral and 2 technical. Heavy system design and debugging. Interviewers were nice, standard interview format with an introduction and then mostly technical questions. Some OOP concepts needed as well.
