I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Apple (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2021
Interview
manager screen > tech screen > 4 tech sessions at remote "onsite"
Manager screen: asked about resume, asked brain teaser, asked old school interview questions.
Tech screen: 1 python 3 sql question in 1 hr
On-site: intermediate to advanced SQL, hard python seemed like better for software engineer, lots of hypothetical questions about how you handle different scenarios (disagreement with coworker), hypothetical about how to make spam metric with unlimited data ,presentation
People were extremely condescending and rude, and it seemed like upper management did not trust first-line management to make any decisions. Very waterfall seemingly and so secretive you can't really get a good idea about the work you will be doing or the team culture. All fanboys, any constructive criticism will be frowned upon.
