Fun projects, lots of responsibility, and exhausting
Lean staff means more responsibility for individuals. There's an amazing sense of pride for working at Apple, even when the company wasn't doing so well. People are always impressed that you work for Apple.
Lean staffing means there's usually no backup. I've heard many stories of senior folks who were burning out, but there was no one to take over for them. The "crunch time" for OS development could be long, with folks eating dinner on campus for multiple months straight.
Watch out for employee burnout.

Team-specific interview process. This team focused on OOP principles. The phone screen involved OOP with a bit of system design. The onsite included another OOP section and a peculiar tree/node question where the task was to serialize and deserializ

Honestly, pretty damn easy, lol. I'm going to try Google next. This was genuinely so simple, I'm amazed a FAANG company would do this. Just practice 300 LeetCode questions and you'll be set!

It was good, tough, and long. 1. Prescreen interview with overall questions to estimate my technology knowledge and experience. It took a 15-minute talk. 2. Test task: write a project. It took 2 hours. 3. Tech interview: 3 sessions, 1 hour each.
