Apple Software Engineer interview experience

The questions themselves weren’t insanely difficult, but the experience felt brutal because I never got real insight from the recruiter about what each stage would actually involve. I walked into interviews mostly blind.

What made it worse was the lack of closure. After eight interviews, the recruiter didn’t send anything—no rejection email or even a quick update—so I just got ghosted. I didn’t receive an offer, and the combination of long waiting and being left in the dark made the whole thing feel unfair.
