Interview – Overall Neutral Experience – Yes, and I accepted – Fri, 13 Jan 2017
Interviewed Feb 2,015 in Cupertino, CA (took 16 days)
Apple found me through my LinkedIn profile. I got an email from a recruiter who asked if I was interested in working at Apple. I had a phone screen with the recruiter initially. A 1:1 was set up with my would be manager who happened to be in my country recruiting interns. After this I had a phone interview with an ICT 5. I was offered to fly in for an onsite the same evening. Apple flew me in set up hotel and car rental. First interview was at 10am and last interview ended around 5:30. I interviewed with around 7 people ICT4s, managers, directors, senior director.
One or two of the directors were busy and I'm not sure if they paid attention to what I was saying because they were constantly texting in between questions. One ICT5 (very senior engineer) come across as arrogant and was just looking for holes in my resume (there wasn't any so I wasn't phased by it). Lunch was provided (with interview questions) at a near by Cafe Macs).
