I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Oct 2021
Interview
Recruiter approached me and have done 2 stage interview pretty good. Recruiter verbally offered the salary with bonus and RSU. But it took more than 2 months to get high-levels approval. And finally I couldn't get the position because of what they say the business reason. I couldn't see any professional behavior here.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions includes, Basic RF system parameters, my work experience and why Apple.
First I had a short interview with the Team Lead, who explained the role in more detail while I provided an overview of my background and experience. This was followed by four detailed technical interviews focused on my technical expertise and problem-solving approach.
It was a day long interview with 4 different people. But the hiring process was so not professional that hiring manager forgot to be included. Then they decided to include her and she was working from home and could not establish a decent connection to the call...
The interview process was structured yet welcoming, including technical and behavioral questions, a practical project, and open dialogue, allowing me to showcase my skills while understanding the organization’s goals. Nice!
