Hardware Engineer Interview Experience - Cupertino, California
Process
The interview was a 45-minute phone screen. I was referred by a current employee who is in the same group. The interview was scheduled almost right after they received my resume.
There were three interviewers, and they asked many questions related to my resume and previous experiences, but not limited to them. Around a week later, I received a rejection email from the hiring manager.
