      Security Researcher Interview

      20 Feb 2010
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Cupertino, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Feb 2010

      Interview

      An internal recruiter contacted and asked if I was interested in a Security Engineer position with Apple. He said it would only be a 30 minute interview where they ask questions about what I did on the resume. When it came time to interview, they asked zero questions on my resume regarding what I did. It was all academic questions you can pick off a book or security seminar. When they asked questions, they didn't seem to understand the depth of the answers I gave. Seems like they were looking at an answer sheet, expecting a certain book answer .. nothing based on real hardcore experience .. and these were their top security people. It certainly explains why Apple has problems fixing vulnerabilities. The interviewers were very nice and professional, nevertheless. The internal didn't respond to questions or emails and gave bad information regarding the interview.
