Interview with hiring manager then an hour long coding interview with an engineer via coderpad solving a problem that has zero implications on how well I could handle the everyday work requirements of the job. These kind of interview processes need to be put to rest. No one at Apple got to know me or my work. Why should I study Apple as a company and invest in joining the company when Apple's hiring team is too lazy to actually invest time in vetting their candidates beyond obtuse technical challenges that foster nervous energy and stifle creativity. Write the random out of a hat algorithm(that you could easily google for understanding in your day to day) how they want or you don't have a shot . I have 9 years of experience with consumer products shipped easily verifiable open source contributions as well, why are you measuring someone like me via a random leetcode style question as a pass/fail? Be better, Apple.
