Very Difficult Interview – Overall Positive Experience – No – Tue, 15 Jul 2014
Interviewed Jun 2014 in Cupertino, CA(took 2+ months)
I was contacted through Linked In and it was a 10 week process. There were two HR phone interviews, the first was a get to know you and the second was a screening interview. The next two calls were with managers. These are 30 mins, get to the point, intense interviews. They want specifics, down to examples of models you have created. If you pass all the phone interviews, you will be invited for an in person interview. Three days before, I received a case study to prepare. The day of the interview, I met with 5 - 6 people, individually, 30 mins each and at the end of the day had 30 mins to present and defend the case study to this group of people. Note that the hiring process is a team process and majority rules. When you interview with the managers on the phone, these may not be the people with whom you will work. If you are hired, they decide where you are needed most and where you will fit in best.
