I applied via LinkedIn and was contacted by two different recruiters for three different positions, all located in Cupertino.

My interview process included:

• A partial onsite with team #1 (meeting the team manager and one other team member).
• A phone screen followed by a full onsite with team #2.
• A phone screen with team #3.

I chose not to pursue my application with team #1. I ultimately received an offer from team #2, while team #3 decided not to proceed with my application.

In addition, I completed an email questionnaire about my past experience and a three-day homework assignment involving coding and signal processing.

Overall, the process was very streamlined, efficient, and respectful of my time.

The onsite interview was a full-day event. I met with the recruiter, a project manager, and six to seven other engineers and managers from my team and allied teams. They offered me lunch at the Macs cafe. No tour of the facilities or labs was provided.

The interview questions were a mix of technical questions (signal processing and machine learning) and behavioral questions (working with cross-functional teams, leadership qualities, etc.).

Some technical questions were very pointed (e.g., write a formula for something), while others were more open-ended, allowing for back-and-forth engagement with the interviewers.

I'm glad I brushed up on my DSP basics the night before the interview :)
