Fun Place to Work, but Too Many Contractors
Fun Place to Work, but Too Many Contractors
Obviously, Apple is a great place to work. The benefits/perks are fantastic, and you get to work with brilliant folks.
In IS&T (my org at Apple), they hire way too many short-term contractors. These people can code, but they don't have a good sense of software architecture.
Focus on hiring full-time employees with proven knowledge of advanced software techniques.

The process started with a recruiter call. Then, I had a technical screening. Lastly, there was a three-part panel interview with an engineer on the team, the hiring manager, and someone on the early careers program.

First screening round, followed by a panel interview. This included three loop interviews in one day. The first screening round went well. I did not hear back from them after this. The interviewer was really helpful and asked good questions.

A recruiter contacted me through LinkedIn. I scheduled a phone screen with a manager. Phone Screen (40 minutes): I had to solve an easy algorithm problem. I solved the problem in around 20 minutes. Then, the manager asked me a lot of random question
