Entrevista
I got a cold call from a recruiter with Apple. I did a 1:1 with the hiring manager was was invited the following week to interview in Cupertino. I had 4 interviews including one with the hiring manager whom I met on the telephone call. That was about the only interview which went well. I found his staff and I did not click at all, with the 3rd interviewer forgetting about me, and I sat in a meeting room alone for an hour wondering what was going on. He came in after being an hour late and had no idea what I was applying for, who I was, and had no questions for me. He asks me "what is the difference between a segmentation fault and a page fault". I almost missed my plane home.

This was my first interview with an engineering team within IS&T at Apple and felt like the 3 interviewers were overly harsh. Don't be surprised if they say "write a shell script on the board", or ask subnetting questions (e.g. IP address to binary) or get heavy into networking questions for a Systems Admin job. I was surprised, and didn't really find a lot of the questions fair for the job classification. I was not impressed that I was left alone and forgotten.

Apple is careful about selecting the right people. The typical interview process involves many interviews with various levels to ensure you are the right fit. I interviewed with the recruiter twice, 3 potential peers, and two separate managers. Having a great knowledge of the Apple history is helpful. Understand how Apple differentiates itself from its competitors is a key. They do not do everything, but pride themselves on what they do.
