I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Sept 2017
Interview
The interview process was very simple and straightforward. The first email was with one of the recruiters he scheduled a first technical phone interview. After clearing first round, recruiter scheduled the second technical round which was with screen sharing. After clearing the second interview I was invited at Apple for the final interview. It started from 9:45 am and ended around 5:15 pm. There were 8 rounds all were technical.
Unfortunately, I didn't clear the final interview, I wanted this job as Apple is one of my dream company but it fine. I really got a chance to meet all smart people, they all were very good and supportive.
First Phone round: General questions about javascript, ruby, CSS
Second Phone round: SQL queries, CSS specificity, ruby "&" vs "and", hoisting effect in javascript. I am eager to share all the questions to help others to pursue their dream at Apple. I hope this might help some. :)

We have 100 teams who perform testing. They all produce the testing results in different formats such as mysql, binary bits, xml, json, nosql,etc. Your task is to show all this in a web application within one week. How would you do it in one week and keep this constraint in mind that the results from these 100 teams are in different formats so your API should be able to work with all the different format.
