Hardware Engineer Interview Experience - Cupertino, California
Process
Multiple stages of video interviews are conducted through Webex.
The process started with multiple phone calls.
The final, so-called, on-site interview literally takes the whole day.
Teams at Apple don't communicate with each other. If you are interviewing for multiple positions, you will end up spending multiple days interviewing, which is very time-consuming.
I suspect that if you decline an offer, you might be blacklisted.
