I was called without applying for a job and invited to an interview. I was interviewed from 9 AM to 3:30 PM by about seven people, and everything was very organized. I felt the interview went well, except with the first interviewer, who was pushing me to squeeze my 15 years of experience into 45 minutes. He was also constantly admiring his own work at Apple.

The horrible part was the answer I received after the interview. Human Resources called me three days later and said the team already knew everything I had told them!

So, what were they really looking for? I think they are just using this as a training method for their engineers.

Initially, one person wanted to rush through my resume. Then, three people asked technical questions about my previous work.

I had lunch with one of the engineers.

After lunch, an interviewer presented a problem, and we designed a system together to solve it. Finally, I spoke with the hiring manager, who asked me to explain some of my previous work.

Overall, they reviewed my resume, asked questions about my previous experience, and posed basic questions about the field.

It was a little intense.
