Average Interview – Overall Negative Experience – No – Fri, 21 Jul 2017
Interviewed in Cupertino, CA
The application process took 2.5 months. I had 3 phone calls: 1 screening and 2 calls with managers. My final interview was in person in CA and consisted of 4 30 min one on one interviews with a case study at the end. From start to finish the application process was a huge use of time- I was actively interviewing with other companies and I was very transparent about my schedule. Apple did not care much. I made it to the final round somehow and got to see the world renowned Apple campus. The experience was surprisingly underwhelming. The managers seemed to be clueless and awestruck throughout each of the 30 min interviews. There is no tour whatsoever. At the end for the case presentation only 2 of the 4 interviewers showed up. Apple makes you print your presentation so I went to kikos and dropped a casual $60 to print out a presentation that 2 of 4 didn't come to. Then I went home and went on with my life. Never heard back from them and I have spent approx 1 min dwelling on the experience. Sure, Apple is an amazing company if you are a consumer buying an electronic. However, I am confident I will meet my career goals without Apple and that's really why I don't feel sad that nothing came from the experience. I am just amazed at what they are like in real life- it kind of reminded me of what it feels like to find out Santa isn't real. Anyway- good luck to anyone else interviewing with them! Don't feel bad if you never hear back from them... chances are you'll spend 40 hours preparing for the case presentation and no one will show up.
