It started with 2 phone screens. Next was 5 in - persons interview. Each interview lasted around 45 minutes. Process can vary but typically can take anywhere from 1 to 3 months from start to end.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Role related questions. I.e. Tell me a time when this happened? How did you react? What steps did you take? What were the results?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple in Aug 2020
Interview
Extremely disappointing recruitment process. Recruiter reached out on LinkedIn and scheduled time for a phone screen. Did not call at the scheduled time and no response to my email as well. Responded after a couple of days and setup another time. Only this time 5 mins before the call the recruiter sends an email saying she would have to reschedule with another recruiter for later in the week.
Recruiter then scheduled an interview after a phone screen. Interview went well, was easy and the recruiter reached out a week later to gather more information to move along in the process. A day later received an email saying the team isn't moving forward with any candidates for that role at this time. Not sure if others experience this with Apple, but has happened to me twice and have lost complete faith in their recruitment process. Seems like they do not value your time.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Apple (Chennai)
Interview
I was called in by the HR, for a short discussion with the Hiring manager. The discussion was good with questions ranging from my background to the work that I’ve done in my past experience. The questions were basically from CV. Post the interview, they mentioned that they’ll be back with results but no one came back. The recruiter did not respond to emails and I never heard back from them. The no response left a bittersweet flavour at the end.

Interview
1 phone screen 1 hiring manager screen 7 30 min interviews with leaders from all levels and different orgs. Overall everyone was very friendly and good spirited. Some interviewers were late and seemed in a rush which can throw you off. Process from first contact to start date was about 12 weeks so very long process, but good comp.
