Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. El proceso tomó más de 3 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en Apple (Cupertino, CA) en jul 2016
Entrevista
I was referred by an employee, and had a phone chat with the manager. This was followed by a phone screen, then a day with five 45 minute onsite interviews with lunch. Each interview was 2 on 1.
The process took three and a half months overall, but they assured me this was abnormally slow, due to WWDC and a large team reorg.
Good questions, interesting people and awesome discussions! I'd do it again just for fun!
Preguntas de entrevista [1]
Pregunta 1
A runtime has a struct Class { Class* super_class; struct { id_t method_name; void (*method_pointer); } methods*[]; }. How would you optimize for dynamic dispatch?
How do you familiarize yourself with a new, large codebase? How would you go about replacing a component in it?
Around 2 months after I submitted my resume for Apple software engineer position, I got a call from the hiring manager. He asked me what was the good day for the interview. It took half day for meeting 5 people. It was long hour interview for me. Each interviewer spent ~ 30 minutes and asked ~ 4 questions. Each interviewer asked questions in the different areas.
6 rounds. 1 Technical Screening. Then onsite loop consisted of 4 rounds of behavioral, 2 technicals, and 1 sys design. Had an additional Hiring Manager round since I was borderline.
