Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
In the previous half hour, we were talking about my experience on Resume.
Then I was asked:
- Three basic mechanical questions.
- Questions about if I have working experience.
- Questions about coding and writing experience.
- Basic questions about the Job Description.
Questions
The initial question was about describing the stress and strain of a rod subjected to a tensile force F. Then, I was asked how to determine thermal expansion, which I addressed by using the thermal coefficient. After that, I was simply told to wait for the results.

Pros: At Apple, you will work with a lot of really intelligent people (I worked with the guy who made AirDrop!), and they really strive to create the highest quality products. Their campus is beautiful, and they're very progressive.
Cons: On the other hand, they're very work hard, play hard. I was struggling at work, so I ended up pulling 12-hour days, and it was very demanding. My boss would not give me help to learn the architecture, even though I asked, and in general, I was micromanaged. The culture was too intense for me, so I had to leave, but I think this could definitely just be my individual manager.
