I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Nov 2011
Interview
Recruiter from the company contacted me via Linked In. She set up a phone interview and asked me about my experience and interests. It was a 30 minute discussion. She did a good job of describing the job and who I would be working with. A week later, another phone interview by another recruiter that asked me more direct, technical questions and described the competitive environment and reviewed the benefits and relo package to see if I was interested. 2 weeks later I went to Cupertino site and met with the group & manager I would work with. Very competitive environement and they are going like gangbusters. They all emphasized that right now, work is thier life but they all LOVE it.

Question 1
How would you handle communicating conflicting priorities between 2 different stakeholders?
Very rigorous. Recruiter was on their A-game and provided consistent updates as needed. Felt challenged during actual interviews based on the technical questions that were presented. Truthfully felt great about the entire process.
