Interview
Employees think they are better than everyone else. The on site interview was about 5 hours, meeting with someone every 30 minutes. The bulk of the interviews consisted of a bunch of Apple products and pieces being placed in front of me and discussions on how they were produced, tooling to manipulate them, ensuring accuracy, how surface finishes were produced, why things were done a certain way

Other RF Systems Engineer Interview Reviews for Apple
First I had a short interview with the Team Lead, who explained the role in more detail while I provided an overview of my background and experience. This was followed by four detailed technical interviews focused on my technical expertise and problem-solving approach.
It was a day long interview with 4 different people. But the hiring process was so not professional that hiring manager forgot to be included. Then they decided to include her and she was working from home and could not establish a decent connection to the call...
The interview process was structured yet welcoming, including technical and behavioral questions, a practical project, and open dialogue, allowing me to showcase my skills while understanding the organization’s goals. Nice!
