The process towards the interview was straightforward and accommodating. I was contacted within seven days after a 30-minute interview with a recruiter and invited for two days of on-site interviews.

I was also given a set of tasks to complete and send back prior to the scheduled interviews. The tasks were appropriate for the position, but were open-ended, meaning one could spend any amount of time and effort on them.

The in-person interviews were thorough, with over 10 people talking to me in private sessions. All interviews were also very friendly. The majority of questions asked me to explain my background and relate it to a potential role at Apple.

The technical questions were all relatively straightforward to answer. I had to think most when asked what requirements or characteristics of the job would make me walk away. I had spent most of my prep time trying to develop arguments why I'd be good for the job.
