This was by far the most lengthy and tiring interview ever. There were two phone interviews, which lasted for 30 minutes each.

After those, I was invited to the Cupertino facility to interview. The arrangements were pretty good. Apple takes care of the flight, car, and hotel, so your out-of-pocket expenses are very little.

The actual interview was very, very tiresome. I was interviewed by 14 employees (yes, in one day), each for 30 minutes. These employees included some at the peer level and some at the supervisory level.

Most of the interviews were pretty technical, with some focusing on core problem-solving and some actually getting into theoretical physics (Solve this circuit diagram based on Ohm's law).

The one thing that struck me as negative was that at least 5 employees spoke negatively of the company and complained about the lack of work/life balance.

All in all, this was a negative experience for me since I didn't get the job. Every time I followed up with HR, they said that "everybody loves you!". Six months and still waiting.

If there are 500 washers that have been rejected by the test lab, can you tell me how you would go about determining the root cause and corrective action?
