Process
I was interviewed for 12 positions at Apple over a period of more than 6 months. All the interviews were very easy, a cakewalk. I was always told I was not selected, without any reason, even though I asked. Some people there seem to want to spend time, so they call candidates, conduct interviews, take their salary, and you wouldn't be selected. I myself corrected their questions on a couple of occasions. There are many dumb and insecure people who wouldn't want to select more competent individuals for the team.
