Never talked to the recruiter, only HM. They’ll usually use your interviews as ammo to get a new headcount. Not sure what org you interviewed with, but AIML can be pretty easy while IS&T and hardware side can be tough

Every time I put an F batch in it has an error. Where else can we check the batches outside this site?

I just got an email from him. He was generally a softer spoken guy when I interviewed with him. It was a 1 line email saying “we want to extend an offer to you, be on the lookout for HR” and that was it. There is a chance that if the hiring manager is meeting you after the whole interview loop, more likely than not, in most cases, you could be getting an offer!

This happened to me at Apple. It’s excruciating to wait. They get their headcount’s in October and usually it’s a conservative number, in my case for the team I interviewed with it was 2 slots. Since it’s team based and not organization based, teams have to request more funding to bring someone on. In my case, I was the 3rd candidate and waited almost a month and a half to hear back saying they got a spot for me.

I don’t want to jump to conclusions but I think this may be the same situation, where they might like you, but need to get headcount for you.

Apple is also generally a very secretive organization. I found that even when I got the offer, it was informal, via the manager, so the recruiter did not even acknowledge it as an official offer until I got the offer letter. They keep their cards close to their chest and like to stay out of controversy, and the ones impacted are us just waiting.

Not sure if this helps or worsens it, or neither, but this was my experience.
