Need input from folks who have got an offer or got rejected after an onsite interview at Apple.

Recruiter had a very neutral email and wanted to chat after the onsite interview which got over 2weeks back. What should I be expecting?

Do recruiters follow up and want to tell the bad news or what’s the deal here? Very confused. And need input from everyone who has been in this position.

    Not to lower morale here but a call usually means rejection imo. At least at Google. If you go through they send an email but when they are adamant to schedule a call it means they will reject you and calling serves 2 purposes 1) there is no written material which can be used against them 2) It adds personal touch and motivates candidate to apply again in the future.

    But also call can mean good things. It’s hard to know for sure till the call takes place. I would say, just relax, there is more to life than a job and it’s not the end of the road

      I agree, it could happen but I am not sure that’s the most likely scenario. Anecdotally, 100% of the offers I got in my life were over calls and 100% of the rejects I got over email.

    Can go either way. But the fact that they want to call is more likely positive than negative.
    If the post on-site interview consensus is not to move forward ,you typically get notified via email.

      Thanks! After onsite I still spoke to the hiring manager as they had some clarifying questions and now the recruiter.

    It was an offer in my case. However my recruiter preferred calling anytime he wanted without setting anything up.
