      Manager Interview

      Jun 20, 2011
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Apple (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2011

      Interview

      I had applied to the position online, and was contacted 5 months later. I was very happy with my job, but curious to see what was out there. The initial conversation went over my experience and was super positive loved the energy of the individual!), and then I was asked to speak to a second individual...this is where my interaction went down hill. Thinking we would go more in depth over the phone, it was nothing like that. I was mostly asked about my love for Apple products, and as soon as the recruiter got on the phone all they spoke about was how tired they were and I could hear them yawning! Unfortunately, to me energy on the phone is important. I received an email letting me know they would keep in touch, and get back to me after their crazy schedule died down. I emailed months later with no reply. I decided to contact another individual who was extremely helpful, but said the first recruiter said I did not have enough experience and I would need to get into contact with the first person. How would the first person know I am inexperienced, if she never asked about my experience and it was 6 months prior when we had spoken? She also said I should ask her about other positions to start off with Apple. The interaction completely ruined my initial perception of Apple as a happy, friendly place.

      Manager Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Cupertino, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA)

      Interview

      The interviewer was unprepared, showed up late, and acted very informally. They had no idea who they were interviewing and had not read my resume. Only want to hear what they/he/she wanted to hear, and it felt like they were just had a bad day.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Apple

      Interview

      Met with the recruiter and the hiring manager but unfortunately I was not able to get past that round. Recruiter did say they will try to reach out again in the future so crossing my fingers I get another chance.
