I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Apple (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2017
Interview
I only had a discussion with one of their recruiters, who contacted me through LinkedIn. I am one of a handful of people in the area with extensive knowledge in my area of specialization. I had one past position on my LinkedIn that was less than a year in length. The recruiter asked about it in a pretty rude way. I answered truthfully but he acted as if I were lying to him and had a dismissive response. I then mentioned some things I thought were interesting about the role at Apple related to my work and he made some comments he does not have the qualifications to make or understand, and acted like I did not know what I was talking about. I've never had such a negative experience with a recruiter. This was a very unprofessional person. He then asked me to send a resume which was exactly the same as the information he had just asked me about. What kind of tech company needs someone to send a duplicate of information they have? I'm positive they know how to copy and paste.
I recently completed an interview discussing my experience in machine learning, quantitative finance, and data analysis. We explored problem-solving approaches, teamwork, technical challenges, and how analytical thinking can support decision-making in fast-paced professional environments.
There was a first screening call, then a second call to secure a time to interview with the hiring manager. Easy, practical questions, most of the questions were from the job description.
Asked multiple choice questions, overall was nice but difficult technically in terms of what the interviewer was asking then was the john. Asked multiple choice questions, overall was nice but difficult technically in terms of what the interviewer was asking then was the john.
