Difficult Interview – Overall Negative Experience – No – Fri, 29 Jan 2016
Interviewed Feb 2015 in Cupertino, CA(took 1 days)
I was called without applying for a job and invited to the interview. I was Interviewed from 9AM to 3:30PM with about 7 people and everything was very organized. I felt the interview went well except with the first interviewer who was pushing me to squeeze my 15 years of experience into 45 minutes of interview. and was constantly admired his own works at Apple--- The horrible part was the answer that I got from them after the interview. The human resource called me three days later and said the team already knew all the things I told them!!!! So what were they really looking for??? I think they are just using this as a training method for their engineers.
Interview Questions
first person wanted to go over all the items in my resume in a rush. Then I had 3 people asking technical questions about my previous work. Went to lunch with one of the engineers. After lunch an interviewer gave me a problem to solve and we designed a system together to solve it. finally I talked to the hiring manager and he asked me to explain some of my previous work. So overall they go over the resume, ask questions about previous experience, ask basic questions about the field, ... It was a little intense --
