The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Mar 2011
Interview
My manager asked me about the projects in my resume.
He wanted the intern to have programming skills and understanding of information security.
He did not ask many questions about the syntax.
I thought he would like the candidate to show the learning ability and enthusiasm for the work.
That was my first interview. It was unforgettable because it changed my life.
Around 2 months after I submitted my resume for Apple software engineer position, I got a call from the hiring manager. He asked me what was the good day for the interview. It took half day for meeting 5 people. It was long hour interview for me. Each interviewer spent ~ 30 minutes and asked ~ 4 questions. Each interviewer asked questions in the different areas.
6 rounds. 1 Technical Screening. Then onsite loop consisted of 4 rounds of behavioral, 2 technicals, and 1 sys design. Had an additional Hiring Manager round since I was borderline.
