Typical interview loop

How Apple usually runs it for applied AI and LLM engineer roles.

  1. Recruiter call

    Focus: Background and team fit

    A short call with a team-specific recruiter about your resume and work history.

  2. Hiring manager screen

    Focus: Projects and motivation

    A conversation with the hiring manager about past projects plus some behavioral questions.

  3. Technical screen

    Focus: Coding, ML-flavored tasks

    A 30-60 minute live session in a shared editor, often with small ML or data-manipulation coding tasks.

  4. Onsite: ML domain rounds

    Focus: ML depth for team domain

    Technical rounds on the team's ML area, such as generative or multimodal models, and explaining ML plainly.

  5. Onsite: coding and system design

    Focus: DSA and design

    Algorithm coding plus a software or ML system design round, with format chosen by the team.

  6. Onsite: behavioral

    Focus: Collaboration and past work

    Behavioral conversations with future teammates and managers, often revisiting your resume in depth.
