Apple Interview Loops
Apple hires data roles team by team, and the interview depends on the hiring manager. The common frame is a recruiter call, a conversation with the hiring manager about your resume, and one or two coding screens on SQL and Python. Then a virtual onsite that can be three interviews or eight. Some teams add a take-home with a presentation. Some ask about experiments in depth. Recruiters often don't describe the loop in advance, so ask what the rounds are before you prepare. Two things hold across teams. The hiring manager conversation cuts many candidates before any code is written, so know your own projects well. And Apple interviewers want clear explanation more than clever technique. Say what the business problem was, what you built, what metric moved and what you told the people who asked for it.
