My very long interview Process for an Apple Leadership Position is definitely my worst hiring experience in my entire lifetime.
I am an experienced Store Manager and i would have never expected that treatment, mostly after travelling 3 times from South of Italy to Tuscany, spending money that they did never refund me although i had several times a promise that they will do it.
5 interviews. Two by phones. Three in 1:1 situation.
The last one ( i supposed the easier and calmer one) was an awful situation causing the clear aggressivity and language poorness ( italian and english) by the "main" interviewer. Yep, the main.
There were other two interviewers ( ladies) in the room that have not been able to say a word. Tremendous for me and them.
After a 6 months process long, no returning feeback at all. This sounds so ridicolous to me.
Shame on you Apple. But i am sure that the real problem is dealing with ITALIAN Apple leaders. They are ruining a company because they are "italianizing" the entire Apple here.
I will embrace for sure their retail project because my real intention in life is to join Apple team but i will do it outside Italy for sure.
