Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Technical experience focused mainly, with some behavioral questions.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Sep 2017
Interview
Met the hiring manager for coffee before setting up in-person interview. In-person interview was on campus from 9 AM to 4 PM. Scheduling during the interviews was very chaotic with a couple cancellations. 3 weeks on and 2 emails to the HR rep and hiring manager and no update. Very unprofessional treatment for experienced candidates.
