Several phone calls, but the in person was cancelled 15 minutes before the scheduled start due to "a scheduling conflict". Not interested in working for a place that has such callous disregard for the applicants or employees.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Atlanta, GA) in Nov 2018
Interview
So, I originally applied for HWTE position at apple, but was interviewed for Vibration controls engineer. I told the interviewer that this is not what I was asked I would be interviewed for, but he went ahead nonetheless. Then he bombarded all sorts of questions related to vibrations and controls, which I was able to answer, but it took me some time to get in the 'zone'. Overall, it was not a good experience.
it was fun, asked me a few questions. got through 5 rounds of interview. manager was pretty nice to talk to. recruiter was also friendly to pair my profile with the teams.
