The Siri process took about two months, from late January to late March. It began with recruiter emails rather than a recruiter call, followed by a short hiring-manager conversation, a six-person loop of 30-minute interviews, and two additional conversations with directors. The contributor described the process as more casual than other big-tech interviews, with many behavioral and project-walkthrough questions, substantial time for questions, and almost no substantial technical questioning. Unusual aspects included meeting several senior people, including directors after the loop, and having the hiring manager participate in the loop without asking any interview questions. The contributor passed the interviews but was still negotiating because the level and compensation were lower than expected. ## Community answers No community answers have been contributed yet.
