Apple hiring bar
How hard is it to get into Apple compared to FB, google ,Ms, amazon
Its not top tier.
Apple has a very mixed hiring bar , since they hire as per team needs and not generic hires.
This. Some managers and those managers want to empire build, and others only accept the best.
Depends on what you physically look like compared to the interviewers and hiring manager. The closer you look a like, the higher than chances across the board.
I’ve seen this in my org, with some noted exceptions.
I was hired a couple years ago. After about a year I was added to the interview panel rotation. I learned that when we’re on the fence about someone, it triggers an additional phase in the interview process. I went through that phase myself, so I know my panel was divided about me before I was hired. Some people interview well and some don’t. It’s important not disqualify the latter and find ways of letting them prove their qualifications in other ways.
From what I have learnt from ppl who work there, there is no centralized and standardized hiring process like Amazon where fresh graduate hiring is now almost automated. It’s really team dependent. Apple also thinks differently about hiring. It doesn’t care about every member being an expert, but it will pay ridiculous amounts to an expert and then they will be surrounded by not so experts to get work done who are probably paid lower than what FANG would offer. Also I have found that being able to LeetCode is rarely a metric for engineering success. Team culture, leadership, communication and other skills matter more once you have an expert in the team.
Facebook == Google > Apple > Microsoft >= Amazon
Just get in is easy...all depends on which team
Amazon hands out offers to literally everyone 😂
