Hello, I recently had an virtual onsite at Apple silicon for CAD Engineer position. The interviews were very stressful with 7 people interviewing me from morning till evening in 7 one hour sessions. I generally thought that interviews went well. They asked me lot of technical questions about various topics related to CAD function. Recruiter said if the team is ok she will get back immediately to diuscuss offer negotiations within next two days iteslf. I didnt receive any communication till mid of next week. I thought it was negative and I sent a followup email. Recruiter responded saying that she wants to talk to me. Recruiter called and said the team liked me and want to go ahead but position requirements have changed and responsibility is much more and they would get back to me in another week on the next steps. I dont understand what is going on here? is there some other reason they are keeping me waiting. Recuiter doesn want to communicate anything over the email. I find this behaviour and response weird. Has anyone had such experience?. Have seen so many threads related to Apple recruiters in blind. Can former or current Apple employees comment and help if they faced similar experiences?
You can say you have an exploding offer at nvidia and see if they call bluff on you
From my own experience, don't wait for the recruiter. Most probably, it's over. If Apple wants to give you an offer, it happens within days. Keep interviewing and accept other good offers asap.
Ok I am interviewing with nvidia at the moment and I still have final on-site to go. If I am caught lying what will happen.
Maybe it's for the best, this way you actually have time to do the onsite with Nvidia and if you get an offer you'd have a competing offer if apple comes through
Thanks 🙏 for the positive suggestion. I am interviewing for first time outside after 7 years and this kind of weird behavior from recruiter is saddening. I am not sure this is how recruiters do in other FAANG companies also.
Just keep in mind that Apple not always hire best people. There are some politics there and they hire dumb people time to time for various reasons
Apple hires fanboys / girls who are willing to work at a discount

What happens when most of your team is Indian?
Classic bait from apple. They are interviewing other candidates or waiting from them.
Thanks. I am interviewing for first time at Apple. This is what i thought. So this means they didnt like my performance in the interview all that much is it ?.
No, they might have liked you but they have the privilege to interview more candidates and then pick and choose the best. One because market is bad and two because it’s apple.
