I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Oct 2018
Interview
Interview went smoothly. Phone interview, then on-site.
Typical white-board coding. Shell out 6 month to prepare before you apply any - I mean any - group. Because you can actually interview with multiple groups.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
STAR - Situation, Task, Achievement, Result - failure story, what did you learn from it
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Apple (Singapur) in Jul 2018
Interview
The project manager initiated the contact with me through LinkedIn, followed by a phone interview a week after. Subsequently, I was called for an on-site interview in Ang mo kio where I was asked about my work experience, some technical questions and finally given a Computer vision assignment. that should be solved within 45 mins. Though the assignment itself was difficult, I was able to solve it in MATLAB within the time frame.
One month after the interview, I was interviewed again by a different member of the project through phone. Finally, I was rejected as my background (in mechanical engineering) does not fit the position. Whole process took 3 months and was grueling. If they wanted someone with Computer science degree rather than the necessary skills, they could have rejected me in the initial screening itself rather than going through such time-consuming process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. How do you solve this [insert some computer vision problem] ? What methods would you use?
2. Some questions about singularities in robot, Gimbal-lock.
Had a phone interview and talked a lot about my portfolio projects. The manager was a nice enough person but he told me frankly that he was flooded with many overqualified candidates and there was no way he could hire more than one person.
