Process

The recruiters at Apple are worthless, and I cannot emphasize how rude they are. I would think by now that technology and software have automated and gotten rid of a lot of jobs. Why hasn't it replaced recruiters?

I was given an opportunity to interview at Apple, and the recruiter would text and call me without setting up any time to speak. She was really rude and wanted to move as soon as possible with the onsite interview.

She gave me a take-home assessment for the onsite. I spent two days doing the assessment. Once finished, she said there was an extra step, which was to talk to an engineer regarding the assessment. But the hiring manager told her no, and they would move onsite.

The onsite interview was a joke; no technical questions were asked whatsoever. I was told that I would be hired, but then the next day, I got an email from the same Apple recruiter stating that I was rejected without providing any reasons why.
