I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cork) in Dec 2021
Interview
I interviewed for Apple in Cork, Ireland. The interview process consisted of 8 separate rounds spread over a couple of weeks. There was one initial screening round with the hiring manager, followed by a technical test. Then six different thirty minute interviews with various team members.
After the interview process the recruiter ghosted me and never provided me an answer even after following up so I consider this interview process a waste of my time. I would suggest being more respectful of candidates who spend hours going through interview your process
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The usual HR-style interview questions. The technical test consisted of a simple enough SQL question and a Python question about working with dataframes.
Took about a month to go through the interview loop at Apple, and it was more challenging than I anticipated. After an initial screening, I faced a couple of technical rounds focusing on data science concepts and statistical analysis. One of the questions asked me to critique a regression model, which was tough. Thankfully, I had prepped using the company-specific question bank on PracHub, which made a big difference. In the end, I received an offer but decided to decline. The experience was intense but rewarding.
I interviewed with recuirter and asked general questions reagrding why this coopnay and role, tell me about yourself and how do you connect with apple, it was easy and stright forward
