Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
Specific teams at Apple hire, rather than hiring for the company first and then picking teams. I had an employee referral to her team and received two initial phone screens before the on-site interviews. I made it through both phone screens, then the recruiter ghosted me. Very unprofessional.
