I interviewed for the Apple Frontend Engineer role and completed the full loop, but unfortunately didn’t receive an offer. There’s limited public information about Apple’s interview process—it’s often team-specific.
The process began with a call from the hiring manager, where she discussed my experience and asked trivia-style questions on JavaScript, HTML, CSS, performance, and responsive design.
The onsite included 5 rounds over 2 days: 4 technical and 1 behavioral. There was no system design, but they went deep into core frontend topics. Be sure you have a strong grasp of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
In one round, I was asked to implement a Lodash method and build a React component. You’re given the option to choose between JS or a framework—I’d recommend picking your daily-use framework, as writing everything in pure JS can be time-consuming if you’re not actively using it.
Tip: Prepare thoroughly and aim for a deep understanding of the frontend fundamentals.
