Awesome workplace - very smart people. Big onus on quality of product & customers.
People are pretty inflated about working at the most valuable company on Earth.
Too secretive for my liking. We wouldn't know what's happening in another office or lab in the same building.
It was really a bit of a mix, tough and easy. Most of the interviewers were very supportive, but some of them just came by because they were assigned to do so.
The HR/Manager interview went well, in person. However, the phone technical interview was challenging. The interviewer asked obscure database terminology related to implementations from five years ago.
The first stage was a very normal by-phone chat. The technical assessment was a fail on Apple's end: their online assessment app itself experienced a fault, blocking compilation of all code. There was no way to complete the assessment.
