Apple VO is mainly divided into four one-hour interviews, with an hour break after the first two. I'd like to share the four rounds of interviews I had at Apple recently, in the hope that it will help more students who are looking for Apple jobs to get the offer of their choice in a less detour and with higher efficiency!
Apple VO Four Round Interview Process Review
VO 1 - Code (with Manager + Engineer)
- Question 1: Java-related Given the base class and inherited subclasses, identify the exceptions in the code.
- Issue 2: Conference room booking variants realization
bookApi(int id, int startTime, int endTime), return whether the conference room can be booked or not. - self-rating: No Hire (failed) - Nervous jamming on the spot.
VO 2 - Code (with another group of managers + engineers)
- Problem 1: Median of two ordered arrays The O(m + n) solution is proposed, but the optimal algorithm is not implemented.
- Question 2: Java Iterator Implementation realization
MovieIterator(used form a nominal expression)hasNext()Andnext()Methods. - self-rating: Soft Hire → No Hire (barely passed, ultimately not invited).
VO 3 - Code (with two engineers)
- Problem 1: Creating a chessboard in HTML/JS The base implementation is complete, but the code is rusty.
- Problem 2: Variants of First and Last Position of Elements in Ordered Arrays Modified to return the number of occurrences of the element.
- self-rating: Soft Hire (barely passed).
VO 4 - Code (with two engineers)
- Issue 1: Pathfinding Given a grid, a list of obstacles, and a starting and ending point, determine and return a feasible path (DFS solution to the satisfaction of the interviewer).
- Problem 2: Chained Table Reversal Basic problem reversing a chained table, advanced problem reversing it recursively by a set of K nodes (unoptimized space).
- self-rating: Strong Hire (clearly adopted).
Summarizing and reflecting
- Harvest:Interviewing skills are improving and need to continue to be polished.
- Experience:Overall positive, with significantly improved performance in the last two rounds.
I hope this helps you prepare for your Apple interview! If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment.
After our powerful VO-assisted surrogate surfaceThe candidate demonstrated clear thinking and communication skills through these questions, which not only won the interviewer's recognition, but also enhanced the ability to solve real programming problems. I wish you all good luck in your interviews!
