Great experience from start to end. From application to informal offer in 5 weeks.
First interview directly with the manager, then panel interview with 6 different employees, from managers to technical staff from different angles (different teams involved).
Though I studied for the interviews really hard the questions were all relative to logic application of previous knowledge, that I didn't need to study for.
Kind people who put me at easy from the beginning.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
From all panelists a twist of the question "why apple?" And also given I'm moving away from management to get into technical contributor "why doing that?"
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Apple in Nov 2024
Interview
Got scheduled for interview with project manager. He didn't come to interview. Mailed HR and Rescheduled again, interviewer came 10 mins late and not apologized.
Asked couple of technical questions and behaved like not interested in interviewing (seeing somewhere else, yawning and stuff when I'm explaining).
Just don't interview if you are not interested. You are just an another company on this planet. Respect jobseekers. Not gonna accept even if I get an offer.
I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2024
Interview
The technical interview for the Apple watch design team was rather challenging. They basically have you draw and design a new component on the spot. I think the interview was fair overall as the role was specifically for a product design engineer.
