The interview process and notification of the decision was very unprofessional. Even though correct solutions were provided for all questions asked, no reason was given for the final outcome. It seemed like it was already decided that the hiring decision will not be in the affirmative irrespective of interview performance.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Sep 2015
Interview
Fairly standard one full day of interviews, plus lunch with one of the team members. Met with most team members, as well as manager and director. Questions spans across experience and technical. The position was for an operations role, so technical questions focused more on scripting and troubleshooting. Interviewers were all friendly and food was great as always.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Apple in Sep 2015
Interview
I applied through Apple Careers site and I recevied a call from recruiter and was setup for a telephonic interview.
The first telephonic interview went well most questions on Data structures, Threading, Core Java.
I received a positive feedback and second round was scheduled.
In second round the interviewer didn't called up on the mentioned time and I had to reach recruiter fo r the update, then i received a call after hour hour and the interviewer was very busy in wrapping up the interview looking a reason to reject and with just 3 basic questions he wrapped up the interview.
I am not sure how would a person would evaluate with just 3 questions, which i answered correctly.
After that i did not received any call from recruiter and when I tried to reach her she told me that the position was already filled. So why in first place they setup the interview if they had already filled up the position. It was a completed waste of time and efforts.
