Difficult Interview – Overall Negative Experience – No – Fri, 9 Dec 2016
Interviewed Nov 2,016 in Cupertino, CA (took 21 days)
Had 3 phone calls and onsite interview. Two of the phone calls with managers in the department and one with a recruiter (who called 10 hours after scheduled). The in person interview was with 5 different people, half an hour with each, and a presentation in front of all of them I had 2 days to prepare.
Even though they say there's no right or wrong answer for the presentation, they definitely expect you to say sales will go up and got extremely irritated when I pointed that based on earnings sales from all the products went down.
Their HR is terrible and never got back to me with a yes/no, I just had to assume since they ignored follow up emails and it's been a month.
