Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process for the Apple internship was organized and professional. It started with an introduction and a short overview of the role, then moved into questions about my background, projects, and why I’m interested in Apple. The interviewer aimed to understand how I approach problem-solving, my communication skills, and how well I can work in a team. Some of the questions were behavioral, while others focused on my technical knowledge and past experience. Overall, it felt structured, and the interviewer was respectful and engaging the whole time.

Was pretty tough, and the interviewer felt pretty rude. If you really know all your topics well and can do several examples, it might go easier for you. Learn about the company and be ready to ask questions that are thought provoking, not just basic ones.

45 min screening round. they asked general questions about the physical design process including basics like setup/hold. they asked me to draw circuits and basic digital design concepts. wasn't too difficult but they ghosted me.
