Process
I applied at an on-campus info session, which was more like a career fair, but with Apple.
The team leader asked me about my projects and gave me an on-campus interview the next day.
He asked me two fundamental technical questions, and then we talked about my projects more in depth. The interview lasted 30 minutes. The team leader was very nice, and I enjoyed the conversation.
