Software Engineering Manager Interview Experience - Cupertino, California

May 1, 2021
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Email from the recruiting team. It took two weeks to schedule a phone call with the hiring manager. A few mishaps from the scheduling person caused another two weeks of delays. The full loop included six interviews: two System Design, one coding, two management style, and one where, god knows what it was, but no question made sense.

Questions

  • How many islands are in a matrix?

  • System Design: Build a blackjack gaming site

  • System Design: Build Netflix

  • Why should I not hire you?

  • What is the hire you regretted the most?

  • A few "will you drink the Apple Kool-Aid" questions.
