Illumination Engineer Interview Experience - Cupertino, California
Process
The interview was very intense, lasting several hours with eight people. I was asked several technical questions.
Honestly, none of the questions were difficult, and I was able to answer all of them well. However, many of the other candidates had several years of industry experience, while I only had research experience from university.
This was the only interview where I didn't miss any questions, yet I didn’t receive the offer, which was very surprising.
