I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Feb 2021
Interview
Long 3 hour interview - but people we friendly. They asked strange questions and look to see how you answer questions to depict "how your mind works". They also ask many technical questions and they did a thorough run-through of my resume. It was overall very conversational.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1) previous employment
2)experience with x technology
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Apple in Oct 2020
Interview
I received a phone screen call with the HR recruiter, which was laid back and general resume review. The second round consisted of 1:1 with the hiring managers. Enjoyable and personal. Didn't ask generic questions about my background and wanted to get to know me as an individual.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 10 months. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA)
Interview
First step was a phone interview with the recruiter.
Next it was a half hour phone interview with the hiring manager - this interview was technical and was about my resume mostly - some information was provided about the role.
Then there was one round of on-site interviews at the main office in Cupertino with the team - all were very professional, but divulged little about the program itself.
I also had to make a 20 minute long presentation on a technical topic of my choice. That was followed by q&a.
I was taken to lunch by the hiring manager.
After a day of interviews, they called me back for a second round of on-site interviews that lasted for half a day.
I was initially rejected, but then they called me back for another round of interviews 8 months later and this time they made me an offer.
