I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Champaign, IL) in Feb 2016
Interview
I interviewed at campus after career fair. Recruiter was really nice, but the whole process was technical questions. I did not have a lot RF classes at that time, so did not get the job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
detailed frequency number... Maxwell eqns... basic signal processing... antenna ...
First I had a short interview with the Team Lead, who explained the role in more detail while I provided an overview of my background and experience. This was followed by four detailed technical interviews focused on my technical expertise and problem-solving approach.
It was a day long interview with 4 different people. But the hiring process was so not professional that hiring manager forgot to be included. Then they decided to include her and she was working from home and could not establish a decent connection to the call...
The interview process was structured yet welcoming, including technical and behavioral questions, a practical project, and open dialogue, allowing me to showcase my skills while understanding the organization’s goals. Nice!
