They called me for a interview just to reject me. !! I talked to almost 10 people and the interview went really good. Still they already had an inhouse woman in mind they were going to hire. The first interview didnt even look at me during the whole interview. Might as well dont waste anybody's time Apple !!
It was online application followed by phone call screening. I didn’t get a second call . It was questions related to my personal life as the position requires lots of travel
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Apple in Oct 2019
Interview
First off, apple interview was the worst interview I ever had, and here is why:
I received an email from apple recruiter requesting interview time with their hiring manager. This caught me with surprise as I did NOT apply for any of the apple positions recently. I asked the HR to give me the job description for the position they are interviewing me for, which I did not receive. instead they gave me time that hiring manager will call me. they didn't specify how long the duration will be, what they will be asking for and what position they will be interviewing me for. Imagine getting a call not knowing what this will be about.
The hiring manager called me at the specific time and started to ask questions without explaining anything about the role. She kept asking questions after questions without pausing for a second, it mainly felt like interrogation than interview and I mean it when I say that.
After 28 minutes of questions, she said we have only two more minutes. you can now ask questions. I had no idea interview is only 30 minutes as it was not communicated with me clearly not by HR and not by the hiring manager.
I asked what would be the expectation from this role and her answer blew my mind! Im sure if Steve Jobs was alive he would have been shocked himself to hear what his team is telling people.
She said we are looking for people to just execute the project and we are not looking for innovative people. pure traditional project management nothing creative.
My advise to you is, don't look at the brand, see what the job is really about. I know you hear apple and first thing that comes to your mind is creativity, however my experience proved me otherwise.
