I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Apple (Londra, Inghilterra) in Nov 2022
Interview
They asked me to tell them about myself. The first sentence in my speech was about the length of my experience, the second sentence was about my tech stack. My speech is not monotonous and not too long (less than a minute). I was interrupted before I finished the speech and they asked me about the number of years of my experience and my tech stack again. Then I was asked about how I have used Greenplum, what kind of pipelines I used Greenplum for and how data was partitioned and so on. Finally, there were standard questions like what challenges I met. When I asked whether the team use Greenplum (it's not in the requirements), they answered with one word "no". After an hour I got a rejection email.
Initial HR screen with basic questions about yourself and your background, followed by a technical screening round.
I was only asked technical questions; there was no coding round. I believe coding may be a separate round.

Assez difficile. Enormément de questions qui ont peu de rapport entre elle. Le recruteur était cependant très à l'écoute sur les problématiques métiers rencontrées lors de ce call. Merci à lui.
