Non-Technical Manager Interview Experience - Sacramento, California

Process

The initial screening interview with the recruiter was standard and easy. The recruiter was easy to talk to and funny.

I had a phone interview with the hiring manager and two peers. They asked a couple of behavioral questions, but mostly questions to understand my background and interest in the position.

After that, I went to the office for four to five in-person interviews. Everything was well-organized and fairly standard. The only off-putting thing was another interview with the hiring manager, who asked some of the same questions but requested I not use the same examples as before.

Additionally, one interviewer introduced a case-based question that I wasn't really prepared for, as I had read (and had friends who work there confirm) that Apple did not typically use that type of interview.

The other oddity was the bathroom policy: candidates are not allowed to go to the bathroom alone. An escort waits outside the door, though not inside the bathroom itself. This felt strange.

I wouldn't have anything negative to say about the interview process if they had called to inform me of their decision. I had to contact my friend who works there to inquire about my status. I had also called the recruiter, who stated he was awaiting a decision and would call me back, but he never did.
