The phone interview was okay. The interviewer was nice. I wish I could say the same about the recruiters. There's something wrong with the Apple recruiting group, it seems. Either they are not professional at all and suck at their jobs, or they suffer from some sort of Apple superiority complex. I don't know.

The interviewer/hiring manager hinted at the end of the interview that he wants to set me up with an onsite interview. And then a week goes by, and crickets from the recruiter side. Before the phone interview, the guy would email back at the drop of a dime. But since the interview, nothing.

I understand things can change in a place like Apple just like that. But, being a professional recruiter, the least you could do is send an email saying that things didn't work out or things changed. I emailed the guy and still nothing.

This is not just frustrating but deeply humiliating and disrespectful. I am not a kid fresh out of school (not that doing this to them is justifiable either). I took time out of my work schedule to take an interview, to talk to the recruiter. So, the least that guy could do is respond back to an email notifying me of an update – any update. But, I guess Apple recruiters don't believe in professionalism or courtesy.

Question on buck/boost converters: how to test their efficiencies etc.
