I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Apple (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2010
Interview
An internal recruiter contacted me for a summer intern position in their hardware design group. The phone interview took about 45 minutes. I personally think phone interview is not effective way of communicating. The interviewer has an accent and the phone line is very noisy. The interview went into two parts. The first part is about past work experience and only one technical question was asked. The interviewer seemed to have no interest in my CVs. I can only say the time is very limited and I was speaking too fast. The technical problem is very basic digital logic design problem. I felt unfriendly when I ask questions since the interviewer did not clarify the problem. I did not answer the question well.
