Difficult Interview – Overall Positive Experience – No – Sun, 8 Feb 2015
Interviewed null -1 in Cupertino, CA(took 28 days)
Applied through employee referral, talked to the recruiter on the phone, one technical phone screen with a senior engineer on the team, had to do a 3-problem take-home test over the weekend, then got invited to go on site. On site was 6 hours of technical interviews. Topics included probability, estimation theory, circuit theory, signal processing, system design, adaptive filters, prototype testing, firmware C programming and C memory management.
They told me the initial feedback of the interview was positive but then took them 3 weeks to eventually reject my application. It was disappointing, but overall the experience was positive and educational. Apple knows how to be professional.
