Apple Product Design interview questions

The interview process took a total of about 3 weeks. A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn about a role and then set up an initial call. Next, I had an interview with the team's Design Manager. The final onsite was virtual due to COVID-19, but consisted of a 1-hour portfolio presentation with the whole team and then four 2 on 1 interviews and a 1 on 1 with the Design Manager. These video calls were split up over two consecutive days (Thursday and Friday). I thought the interviews went really well! On Monday morning, the recruiter emailed me to ask if I had time to chat. She then waited to call me until 6:30pm (she was 30 minutes late) to tell me that the team decided to go with someone internal because it would be faster to get them up to speed. I was very sad and frustrated at this point because A) the recruiter waited all day to give me bad news, B) she was late to that call where I was sitting staring at my phone waiting, and C) they ended up giving the job to someone who already had a job AND already worked at Apple. As someone who was impacted by the pandemic and lost my job in May, I was disappointed by this. Why bother interviewing external people if you are just going to hire someone from another internal team? I love Apple as a company and talked to a lot of really smart and interesting people, but this definitely hampered my opinion of them a bit.

On campus two 30 mins interview. Asked two short technical questions during the first and one long technical question during the second interview. The questions were from mechanics of material and mechanical design.
