I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Apple in Jan 2023
Interview
The interview process is very straightforward. I get the interview through an internal referral. The hiring manager asked about position relevant experience from last role. It last almost one hour for the video interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe the most difficult situation you have met in your work, and how you solve the issue.
I had a 15 to 20 mins chat with the recruiter, who described what the role was about and what skills they are looking for. Then the recruiter set up a technical interview with a hiring manager for me.
The interviewer came late and asked nonsense. He behaved super unprofessional and eat during the interview process. Finally, he ended the meeting 10 mins earlier. Bad experience and cautious about people related to manufacturing.
Initial recruiter screening followed by 5 technical interviews with members of the engineering team. The interviews focused on my experience, problem-solving approach, and technical knowledge relevant to optical systems and instrumentation.
