Engineering Interview Experience - Cupertino, California
Process
Two full days of interviews were spread across two weeks.
The position is fairly senior and cross-functional in nature, interfacing between two major groups. The position required a wide range of technical knowledge as well as management experience.
I blew the process by not answering in enough detail about team building and management experience. I was concentrating too much on being technical and misread the importance of questions from one of the key interviewers.
Apple has many disciplines of talent. Make sure you understand the discipline of the interviewer, as they look for different traits. An industrial designer may ask the same questions as an electrical engineer, but they don't always expect the same answer.
Good luck.
