Hardware Engineer Interview Experience - Cupertino, California
Process
I had two technical phone interviews before getting flown out to Cupertino.
There were ten 30-minute interviews, lasting the whole day. Most questions were generic EE-related technical problems, focusing on a "cut and dry, solve this problem" approach without anything tricky or behavioral.
Although it was for a purely hardware job, I was still interviewed by the software manager, who asked programming-related questions.

Never felt your work is valued and appreciated, even when you did great work. Long hours of work occur because the manager left a lot of his work to his intern so that he himself can take off earlier. A lot of politics is involved.
