Average Interview – Overall Negative Experience – No – Tue, 15 Sep 2015
Interviewed Sep 2011 in Cupertino, CA(took 1 days)
Lunch with the hiring director. A lot of questions about my background, and a very high level description of the responsibilities of the hiring group, any of my detailed questions were rebuffed with, "I can't talk about that." Like interviewing with the CIA, only more secretive. This was still in the Steve J. era so no idea if that's changed, but boy oh boy did it speak volumes about what the actual working environment must be like. If you ever fantasized about what it must have been like working on The Manhattan Project, well, look no further and join up with Apple immediately.
Interview Questions
A lot of focus on "are you able and willing to code." It seems that this is a core expectation of engineering managers at Apple (who said such expectations were just for startups?)
