Mechanical Engineer Interview Experience - Cupertino, California

I applied for the job online. There were two phone interviews: one with HR and one with a technical manager. Then, an onsite interview was arranged. I booked all travel following Apple HR's instructions. The onsite interview was at the main campus. Ten people from various technical teams interviewed me. There were a lot of technical questions.
