Hardware Engineer Interview Experience - Cupertino, California
Process
The interview process involved a first phone interview, followed by a 24-hour assignment, and then an on-site interview with about 10 different managers. I received and accepted the offer about a week after the interview.
The interview questions were very technical and consisted of solving problems live on a whiteboard.
Don't let a bad interview ruin your recruiting process. I believe I blew a couple of interviews but was pretty good on others. I felt like 5 good interviews versus 3 bad ones, and I got the job. Just stay polite and answer the questions as well as you can. Tell the interviewers how you think; I believe that's more important than if you solve all the problems correctly. Think structured and pay attention to detail.
