Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
The recruiters were very slow in reaching out. Had to do multiple e-mail chains for following up with them.
After a week or two they responded and took another month to schedule the phone screen.

Got asked a binary search iterator question from LeetCode, and got asked both the recursive and the iterative approach.

Exploitation of labor in China

Pros: Decent pay, generally interesting work.
Cons: If you dig into the supply chain of Apple products, you will quickly discover that this company is exploiting unpaid and not at-will labor in China.
They deny it, but it's obvious, and most of the higher-ups are more than aware of what is going on. They just don't care as long as their pockets are being lined.
I am looking for a new job now that I've discovered these problems.
