I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Apple in Jun 2021
Interview
- Apple In house recruiter reached out and asked if I was interested in role(provided details and posting) I did not have to do a phone screen with recruiter.
- Phone interview with Hiring Manager. Went over resume, general questions about thought process
Overall I found my experience for this role poor and somewhat unprofessional. ~3 days after phone screen, recruiter reached out to say the role was being relocated to another location(overseas) and that was it. I found same role re-posted in new location a few days later.
I would think they would have thought of where the role should be before even posting and scheduling people. In matter of ~9 days from recruiter reaching out to phone screen to role be closed. It's a waste of everyone's time involved.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. What is your planning process for migration of system/db
2. How would you handle an estimation that was unusually high?
First starts with a recruiter call
Then to a EPM peer, where you have a conversation on background and standard questions as well as a prioritization question.
Then if you pass, then you would move onto a loop with 5 other stakeholders.
I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (Austin, TX) in Jan 2026
Interview
Behavior based questions and based on background. No technically complex questions. But need to be technically knowledgeable and have the relevant experience in both engineering and program management. Pretty standard questions asked from all interviewers. Recruiter screen, HM call, panel with presentation
I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA)
Interview
The overall interview process is long. It starts with general recruiter call followed by 2-3 one on one calls with hiring manager and recruiting teams, followed by a technical presentation and a day of panel interviews.
