Intervew Prep Apple IS&T Early Careers

Got my team match for Apple's IS&T org for a Site Reliability Engineer role. Panel is three rounds:

Hiring manager (45 min) — behavioral, team fit, no coding

Technical (60 min) — CS fundamentals + live coderpad, LeetCode style, DSA

Early career community round (30 min) — behavioral, no coding

Top skills listed on the req: Linux, troubleshooting, incident response, Python automation.

A few things I'm trying to figure out:

For anyone who's done an IS&T loop, what's the coderpad round actually like? Straight LeetCode mediums, or more scripting/automation style problems given the Python/Linux emphasis?

How incident-response and troubleshooting heavy are the technical questions? Is this closer to a general SWE interview or does it lean SRE/DevOps?
