I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Apple (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2026
Interview
1. phone screen with recruiter. 2. Video interview with hiring manager. 3. Video interview with team. 4. Final interview with leadership. Apple is very slow with their interview process. Long time to schedule next interview. This whole process took 2 months.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple
Interview
Met with the recruiter, hiring manager, 2 PBP peers and one leader in the client group. Pretty standard questions, nothing random or unexpected. I was informed that there is a possibility I could interview for multiple open roles if a hiring manager thought I could be a good fit, but I only interviewed with the one team which was fine (and preferred honestly).

Question 1
What is something that would be a deal breaker for you in your next company? What’s most important to you in your role?
Multiple rounds of interviews. It went quickly and then it stalled after the final interview. Had to follow up with recruiter a couple of times before finding out I was not selected. Would have appreciated feedback after all of those interviews.
