I applied online. The process took 5 weeks.

Great experience from start to end. From application to informal offer in 5 weeks. First interview directly with the manager, then panel interview with 6 different employees, from managers to technical staff from different angles (different teams involved). Though I studied for the interviews really hard the questions were all relative to logic application of previous knowledge, that I didn't need to study for. Kind people who put me at ease from the beginning.

From all panelists, a twist of the question "Why Apple?" And also, given I'm moving away from management to get into a technical contributor role, "Why do that?"

Looking at product engineering knowledge like probability distribution functions, box plots, and comparing populations.
