I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Apple in Mar 2022
Interview
Had a phone interview that was a little on the difficult side but it could have been because I didn't get much sleep due to a family matter. The interview was fine but the disappointing part was being ghosted afterwards.
It was really shocking to see that such a prestigious company doesn't have a better recruiting process. The recruiter even said she would submit me for other roles if this one didn't work out and then stopped replying to my emails after being very responsive previously.
I would have at the very least appreciated an email letting me know I wasn't moving forward especially considering the recruiter is the one that reached out to me to apply.

Interview
Interview process starts with a hiring manager call. In some cases there's another call with another team member or the hiring manager's manager. Afterwards, the team brings you on for an onsite (in my case it was virtual). This can range from 6 - 10 interviews 30 to 45 minutes in length each.

Question 1
Most questions were either scenario based or experience based. For example, "Tell me about a time you managed stakeholders with conflicting priorities." or "The feature you're working on is broken and the launch needs to be delayed, how would you escalate this to leadership?"
