I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Minneapolis, MN) in Dec 2022
Interview
Was contacted on LinkedIn to for a job interview at Apple. First interview was just an online code test. I did well enough at that, and went on to the 2nd interview where I meet the lead engineer and am given another code test this time on screenshare. Both code tests were done on the web through an online IDE made for collaborative work. I was allowed to look things up, but was instructed to "talk it through" with the team lead before going to google it.

Question 1
create the logic for a spreadsheet API that could do calculations based on the cells given in such a way where one cell could contain a math equation including the value of another cell.
Around 2 months after I submitted my resume for Apple software engineer position, I got a call from the hiring manager. He asked me what was the good day for the interview. It took half day for meeting 5 people. It was long hour interview for me. Each interviewer spent ~ 30 minutes and asked ~ 4 questions. Each interviewer asked questions in the different areas.
The interview was easy, we talked about technical stuff in-depth: os, drivers. If they think you know something, they would ask you till they find where your knowledge ends. So be ready
