Apple Hardware Engineer interview questions

The process started with an initial recruiter screening to review the role and confirm that I met the minimum qualifications. After that, I was moved to a 30-minute interview with the hiring manager. The interview experience was disappointing. The interviewer seemed disengaged throughout the conversation, and the interaction felt more like a one-sided questioning session than a discussion. There was little effort to create a comfortable or conversational atmosphere, which made the experience feel impersonal. The call ended as soon as the scheduled 30 minutes were over, and I was not given an opportunity to ask any questions at the end. Overall, the process did not match the level of professionalism I expected from the company.

There were questions about FIFO, CDC, RDC, verilog code for arbiters and complete understanding of resume. There were some advanced questions on Finite State Machines as well. Apart from these, how to improve the verilog code for power and area etc.
