#!process Apple final (swe, non-evolve

Yeah through LinkedIn
For Apple, it’s team dependent even after a recruiter reaches out. So, I had to still apply to their open positions and wait for other recruiters to reach out specific to that role
But it’s a go from the initial recruiter and resume actually gets seen by hiring managers

so they reaced out to you randomly or did u do something first? admittedly, haven't really delved into world of talking to recruiters directly versus applying on website

Reached out
Idk what you mean by randomly. I have a careers page profile, i have open to work banner, and i am actively applying to Apple’s other positions
I don’t always reach out to recruiters for jobs… only if I find them posting about it and asking us to reach out or if there is a position which is a perfect fit for me, I might reach out.

What was your onsite exp like?
It was nice! I was expecting it to be the way it was… very heavy on technical skills and they really want you to be a “good” fit for the team.

Ya! Apple is known for doing all onsite rounds in 1 day (max 2)

I see. How exactly do you prepare for engineering best practices? Is this something like system design?

Good question! I would say since teams at Apple are very very specific, you would know what exactly comes under engineering best practices for your role.
Eg: my role is within intelligent systems team, which basically deals with swe + infra (pipelines, triaging issues with builds, and releases) so i got asked a lot of questions related to debugging, configuration of pipelines, best practices of git management (feature branches etc) and how resolve bugs if its like mapped to multiple commits, and so on
Very deep into technical stuff but they enjoy asking questions that you’ll deal with during your day-to-day job
