The recruiter contacted me. They were very candid, offering good advice and insight into the process, position, and team. The process leading up to the interview was very professional. I booked my own travel through the internal website and also received a per diem; the process was seamless.

I arrived at Apple's new HQ, and seeing a small portion of the new facility was the best part of the process. I met my contact in the lobby, who then contacted the POC, and we proceeded to a collaboration room. I had 9 interviews in 6.5 hours. The interviews were mostly conversational, focusing on my experience and how I would approach situations. Some interviewers asked more pointed questions. All of them seemed overworked, mentioned how tired they were, and asked if I was ready to work 60+ hours per week. I was asked to make a presentation, but I did not get to present it.

The interview schedule changed during the interviews. The person who interviewed me right before my break was unsure of what I was supposed to do next but asked if I could stay in the room, which meant I was unable to eat. I did not get the position but am thankful I had the opportunity to interview. I believe the group was going through a very chaotic time. I did not hear back from the company, even after reaching out to the recruiter for feedback.
