I have had several interviews with them, and in general, I did not have a good experience with Apple. Here are the reasons:
Sometimes their recruiters ghost you. They don't even let you know how you did after the interview.
Most interviewers were not professional and, in some cases, disrespectful (asking irrelevant questions, being late to interviews).
It seems many of them need training for interviewing people.
In many cases, there is an offer already on that position, and they just want to have an interview so they can apply for somebody's green card that is already working there, or maybe to hire someone internally.
I can ask hundreds of questions related to their positions such that they can't answer. It shouldn't be about asking complicated technical questions; many of their hiring managers still don't know that.
Several times they were late for interviews. Once, one HM hung up the call to answer another call! Once, somebody contacted while he was on his way home!
In case you face such things, make sure you let them know about what they are doing wrong because I feel like many people apply to these large companies, and that's why they always think they can easily find someone else, and maybe that's why they behave like that.
Keep in mind that although they invite you to the interview, they might just want to do that to hire someone else, and you are just being played. So don't expect much from them and don't wait for the results much.
Some basic questions and irrelevant questions that you will never face at work: impulse response of an RC circuit!
