I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cork) in Nov 2021
Interview
There are 4 stages I went through:
HR Screen - Quick 15 minute call
Talking with the hiring manager - 45 mins
Technical Screen (SQL & Basic Python/AB Testing) - 60mins
Panel interview - 4 x 30 mins with different stakeholders
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical Data Science interview
The hiring manager asked questions regarding my experience with payments/revenue data
The stakeholders talked about behavioural stuff and how I deal with difficult situations
The technical screen involved some SQL coding on Coderpad and a basic Python string question
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
