Apple's interview process for junior-level Network Engineers typically follows a structured funnel: initial recruiter screening to assess background and role fit, followed by a technical phone screen to evaluate core networking fundamentals, and then a comprehensive onsite loop (typically 4-5 rounds) assessing hands-on technical skills, network design thinking, troubleshooting methodology, security awareness, and cultural alignment. For network engineers, Apple emphasizes practical problem-solving, infrastructure stability, and security-first thinking.
