Process

I applied through the Apple website and received a call from an Apple Recruiter.

I was asked to attend a half-day interview session. Upon arrival, I found five other candidates present.

The recruiter led all of us to a conference room where the interview panel members were waiting. We were given a short presentation about Apple as a company and the team for which we were being interviewed.

After the presentation, each panel member took one candidate to an interview room. They asked questions for about half an hour, and then the interviewer would change. I interviewed with three different people.
