I applied through university. I interviewed at Apple in Oct 2015
Interview
The interview started off at a good note. The interviewer asked me about my background, asked a few questions but in the middle of the interview, he realized I had only 4 years of experience as opposed to the 7-8 that was required. It was evident the interview went downhill from there.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1) Tell me about yourself?
2) Why this position?
3) Tell me about a time when you optimized a process?
4) If you were to set up a new plant for a new product, how will you go about it?
Hard to talk to. People were interesting. Didn’t come to the interview prepared so that made talking to them weird and made conversation difficult. Other than that it was fine.
Multi-interview process with initial screening, second step being an assessment, third step a call with the team manager and last step an interview with the team, overall good but challenging.

Question 1
Describe your previous experience as an operations manager
The usual 7 round interview process, however they dragged me through the process for 5 months only to be rejected citing it came down to me and another candidate but they chose to offer the other candidate - I have reasons to believe they offered it to an internal candidate. It’s frustrating when companies post jobs on external website only for the sake of compliance when they already have an internal candidate to fill that position.
