Apple Software Engineer interview experience

I saw a range of how many rounds it took—somewhere between six and eight total—and the structure started with a hiring manager round that felt more casual than the rest. After that, I moved into a technical screen that ramped up into panel interviews.

The biggest surprise was how much the format varied enough that it didn’t feel like there was one single style to prepare for. Even though I went through the loop, the uncertainty in what each team emphasized made the whole journey feel tougher than it would have if the steps had been consistent.
