Apple Hardware Engineer Interview

Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Cupertino, CA (US) Oct 2011 – Reviewed Nov 10, 2011

Interview Details First phone interview, then a 24 hour assignment, then on-site interview with about 10 different managers. Received and accepted offer about a week after interview.
Interview questions were very technical and consisted of solving problems live on whiteboard.
Don't let a bad interview ruin your recruiting process: I believe I blew a couple of interviews but was pretty good on others. I felt like 5 good interviews versus 3 bad ones and I got the job. Just stay polite and answer the questions as good as you can. Tell the interviewers how you think, I believe that's more important than if you solve all the problems correctly. Think structured and pay attention to detail!
