Very Easy Interview – Overall Negative Experience – No – Sat, 10 Sep 2016
Interviewed in New York, NY (took 14 days)
First, had call with recruiter asking about my experience. Seemed like a good fit, so the next step was speaking with a manager of this team.
This was rescheduled by them a day or two before, and I didn't really have an option to say "no".
They were still 15 minutes late to a 30-minute call. I was asked about my current work, but they seemed incredibly bored when I discussed my specific work with user experience and client-side map integration—things you think would be pretty relevant to Apple. I then got a textbook question about "good parts" of JavaScript; she was clearly fishing for Crockford quotes but I instead tried to focus on ES6 and web components, as I felt that would lead to a more interesting conversation (which other interviewers seem to enjoy).
She cut me off and said she had to get to another meeting. No questions for her, nothing. Obviously she wasn't interested in me but I was taken aback with how unprofessional it all seemed; and disappointed in how little Apple seems to worry about modernizing its weakest platform: the web.
