I applied for this job through an agency and ended up getting scheduled for five back to back interviews with the actual team I'd be working with at Apple in one day. Some of the people I spoke with were very professional but the manager in particular was rude, unprofessional, and generally gave me a bad impression of the work environment and the job itself. -The job description essentially mentioned the duties of a typical localization project manager and that I'd be responsible for overseeing the translation of content into several languages. However, in the interview the manager mentioned that I would also have to help employees check devices in and out and police people to see if they were taking too long on breaks or using personal devices at work: so essentially, during the interview they changed the terms such that they apparently wanted me to do the job of an LPM *AND* an operations manager at the same time. This struck me as very shady and left a very bad taste in my mouth. -I was asked about my hobbies and interests and mentioned them, only for the manager to retort that here Apple is your team first and foremost and that you shouldn't need any other team outside of that if you want to work here. So let me get this straight, the real reason you asked about hobbies was to see if I have any AT ALL outside of work and if the answer is "yes", then that's a bad answer since having literally any interests or personal goals outside of Apple at all is heavily frowned upon? This also struck me as shady and gave me a very negative impression of the manager and team environment. -When the interview concluded I was asked if I had any questions. I asked a simple question about how the work environment was and the general atmosphere of the team I'd be working on and was told that I was beating around the bush and needed to be "more transparent" with the way I was asking things. I felt I was perfectly transparent to begin with and it was fairly straightforward, so again receiving this sort of extremely combative attitude from the manager over such a simple question left a bad taste in my mouth and a very negative impression of what the potential manager/direct report relationship I would have with this person might be, not to mention the attitude was just plain unprofessional. -I was told that I would be having a phone interview since their conference software wasn't working but the manager called me on video phone regardless. He was also late and then asked me if I could go over time with him, and I mentioned that it's fine but asked if it was okay to cut into the next interview I had after this one. He seemed upset and asked if it was for this job or a different job. I told him it was for this job but really he shouldn't even had to have ask me that at ALL, as he's the manager and allegedly the one who put my interview schedule for that day together in the first place, and as such should have known very plainly who I am speaking with on his team and at what time. When it came time for my next interview my phone rang in the middle of the video conference so I could speak with the next interviewer (again, from Apple for the same position) and I asked if I should take it and he got annoyed and said he "lost his train of thought". To be perfectly blunt, it is not my fault that A.) the manager was ten minutes late to the interview, nor is it my fault that B.) The manager apparently cannot be bothered to check HIS OWN interview schedule that he prepared in the first place and find out for himself who I am speaking with on his team and at what time. The manager's lack of care and attention for his own schedule was pretty bad. Worst of all though, if you were to ask me if I got the job or not, I'd have to tell you: I honestly have no idea. I went through five interviews face to face with Apple over a span of 3+ hours and then they disappeared off the face of the earth and I never heard from them again. I checked in regularly with the agency I went through asking for updates and she said she never heard anything from them, even months after (and was very apologetic and said that things like this shouldn't happen). Even now it's honestly pretty mind-blowing that such a big company renowned for putting the "users first" would treat a potential contract hire in such a fashion. I understand not getting a job but putting someone through five grueling back to back interviews and then not even telling them how things turned out is inexcusable for ANY company, much less Apple, and not to mention totally unprofessional. There's a lot of negative buzz Apple gets for the way it supposedly treats its contract staff and ultimately, if the way I was treated in the interview is any indication of how I'd have been treated had I actually gotten the job, then it's just as well in the long run.
