      Software Engineer Interview

      2 Feb 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Los Angeles, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Apple (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2015

      Interview

      Applied at an Apple booth set up at my university during a hackathon. A week later (in Nov 2015), I got a mail asking for an interview with the Siri team (had applied specifically to AI based roles). Was delighted and sent in the details like availability, phone number, etc. After that, there was no response from my recruiter. Three weeks passed by and I mailed her and I got an automated reply informing that she had gone on a month long vacation and was asked to contact another recruiter. Contacted him and he finally fixed a date for the interview. It never happened. He scheduled and rescheduled and it never ever happened. I was asked to contact my initial recruiter once she gets back from her vacation. I contacted her in early Jan 2016 and she replied a week later informing that the interview will not be happening as someone else got the role. I lost my chance at Apple because a recruiter did not check her mails properly. It is fine if they overlook mails from candidates who are asking for an interview. Once she has given a chance to a candidate, she must be responsible enough to make sure the candidate goes through the process. Extremely disappointed with how the recruiter corresponded with me.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Apple

      Interview

      Around 2 months after I submitted my resume for Apple software engineer position, I got a call from the hiring manager. He asked me what was the good day for the interview. It took half day for meeting 5 people. It was long hour interview for me. Each interviewer spent ~ 30 minutes and asked ~ 4 questions. Each interviewer asked questions in the different areas.
