Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Contacted on LinkedIn by a recruiter with an @apple.com email address. A phone interview was set up for the following week.

During the phone interview with Apple, I was asked about my previous and current work experience. The interviewer dug into several advanced topics in detail to ensure I was not padding my resume by just throwing in keywords. He then jumped into a quick C++ quiz to check my C++ knowledge. I am very competent in C++, but he used some terminology that not everyone might be familiar with when describing certain design patterns.

I never heard back from either Apple or the recruiter. I pinged the recruiter after the interview for some feedback, and he never responded. I feel that is quite unprofessional, especially since he contacted me.
