      Multitouch Sensor Algorithm Engineer Interview

      Jun 19, 2014
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Palo Alto, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Palo Alto, CA) in Jan 2014

      Interview

      The recruiter initially contacted me and set me up the the inventor of the multitouch technology. The interview was very brief and it involved 8 questions and no small talk. The interviewer told me I did well on the screen and he gave me a homework to work on which I have described below. I thought I did well but according to them I didn't and they rejected me after 2 weeks. I spent a lot of time on this and I believe this is the worst possible way to reject an individual. I am NEVER going to apply to apple again in my life.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Homework: Derive group delay of a non linear phase filter Write a program to shuffle cards in a particular manner until original order of cards has been reinstated.
