Process
After I applied, the recruiter emailed me with a few groups within Apple that were interested in me. They set up 30-minute phone interviews with a person in the group.
If the interview went well, I had a second, hour-long phone interview with two or three other people in the group.
Questions
There was a good mix of technical questions and general experience questions.
The technical questions included simple questions about Objective-C memory management and related topics, as well as data structures and algorithms questions.

Many employees are Apple fans, which is fun, sort of like cheering on a sports team?Cons: Very secretive, and it doesn’t seem like outside-the-box thinking is respected much.
