Mechanical Design Engineer Interview Experience - Cupertino, California
Process
I was contacted by a recruiter via email originally. I had a first phone screen with the recruiter, then two additional phone screens with a fellow engineer and the hiring manager. I was then invited for an onsite interview, followed by another follow-up onsite.
The entire process was extremely long. By the end, I had interviewed with 12 people. The process was high-level but fair, with technical questions in each interview.
