I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Apple in Jan 2017
Interview
was contacted by a recruiter for an internship opportunity. My interviewer was not allowed to disclose what I would be working on so it was incredibly hard for both me and my interviewer to ask/ answer questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe some projects you have worked on using <enter specific technology>.
HR Screening, Interview with Manager, and a series of panel interviews. Lengthy interview process but pretty standard to most interviews today. Got to meet a great team and had conversational interviews
Call with manager, SQL and coding questions. the SQL questions seemed to be asked off the top of the manager’s head so the best preparation is to be well versed in simple SQL.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Jun 2025
Interview
Since I had interviewed for another QA role a couple of months back, I was directly screened for the "Hiring Manager round" this time.
It was a quick 30-min QA technical interview with a couple of behavioral questions.
I got enough time to ask HM a few questions at the end.
It has been good so far..
