Very Difficult Interview – Overall Positive Experience – Yes, and I accepted – Wed, 29 Jul 2015
Interviewed Jul 2015(took 49 days)
Applied around mid-June on the Apple website for this position. I received a call 3 weeks later, which was actually a brief 10 minute phone interview, from a pleasant recruiter who pretty much just gave me a run down of the job and asked me two simple tech questions. This is to make sure you are a reasonably competent person who could be a good candidate. After this, I received an email from him letting me know I had an interview set up with another recruiter via Skype. He provided me with a few links in the email for me to study and prepare for the interview. The second interview rolled around and this one was much longer- about 25 mins. The recruiter who interviewed me was nice and very friendly, I enjoyed speaking with her. She started out with more information about the job and the requirements, then asked me a few behavioral questions and some questions about my previous job experience. We did two role play scenarios, and she gave me tips after each one on how to improve/what she liked about my performance. After this, she thanked me for chatting with her and told me I would be receiving an email within a couple of days to set up a 3rd Skype interview with a hiring manager. This one was much more difficult than the previous one, and was more technical. The hiring manager was nice though and seemed to understand my nervousness and was okay with it, and was very friendly and gave me more information on the timeline of the training process and how it all works. This interview was 40 mins long, and when we were done he told me that I'd receive a call within a week or so letting me know if they wanted to proceed with me. I received a phone call from a manager in HR about a week later who let me know they wanted to proceed with me, and that they would extend an official offer of employment contingent upon completion of a successful background check. The background check is through HireRight, so make sure you have all of your ducks in a row because they are very thorough. After successfully passing the background check, I was called 3 days later with an official offer of employment. The whole process all together was very long and grueling, but generally positive and the people who work in the HR department at Apple are pretty good at doing their job.
