Front-End Developer Interview Experience - Cupertino, California
Process
A recruiter contacted me for a front-end position. They scheduled a time for me to speak with the head of one of the front-end teams.
I had the initial phone call, which lasted about 30 minutes. During the call, I was asked a few technical questions.
After that, I was sent a developer exercise where I had to implement a simple photo ordering tool using vanilla JavaScript and no libraries.
I completed the exercise and was notified a week and a half later that they were not moving forward.

That is interesting and motivating. That is something that made me look forward to working with Apple.Cons: Consulting is kind of ruining the work culture. Small projects are not helping these companies in the long term. Full-time employment is what will help these companies do better. It grooms people specifically for that company.
