Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 2 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en Apple (Cupertino, CA) en mar 2026
Entrevista
The first phone screen was about questions regarding applicant's resume and experience.
The Interview was intense with each interviewer asking a behavioural questions with follow ups and then a technical question with C coding.
I was eliminated after the first round. The process included a recruiter screen followed by a 45-minute call with the hiring manager. We covered role scope, prior projects, and technical depth, but I did not advance to the next stage.
