I saw a couple of posts asking aboutApple SRE interviews and so sharing my experience here.

Applied on the career portal and received an email from the recruiter after a couple of weeks. The interviewer asked to fill up a Word Doc which had questionnaire. It basically asked to rate myself on various skills like Programming, Distributed Systems, Networking etc. another important questions was whether I wanted to have a Systems or Software centric interview.

After a couple of days, received an email from recruiter for initial tech screen. It was 1 hour interview with half the time for a coding question and another half of Linux basics.

Received positive feedback and asked to schedule an interview loop. The loop had 4 interviews. Remember from first step, I had selected Systems centric interview so I had 2 interviews on Linux, one on Systems+Manager (easy), one coding. If someone selected Software centric interviews, the will have 2 Coding, 1 Linux and 1 Manager round.

It took 5 business days to get the feedback and I got Intent to Offer.

Afterwards the recruiter arranged for a couple of meetings with HM, these are more of discussions to understand what the teams do. I also had opportunity to ask questions on culture, on-call rotations etc. This is basically to find a team fit. The final work location also depends upon this.

I will update this thread with offer and location once it is finalized. I have competing offers and will make a decision to join or not based on what Apple comes up with.
