I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Apple (Akron, OH) in May 2015
Interview
Was taken into a group room where we were basically told how wonderful apple is and how magical the world of computing can be, then we were interviewed by *surprise* the person next to you and fellow interviewee. We were asked what super power we'd choose and to share a positive work experience. Naturally this is like playing the telephone game with the interviewee often not getting the story correct (he screwed up mine) and possibly cost me the job. overall not a good experience. I understand Apple may not have time for traditional interviews, but I was unable to sell my skills as a result. It would have been easier if the other man was eliminated and we described ourselves. In short- traditional interviews are better and exist for a reason.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Apple (West Hartford, CT) in Jan 2015
Interview
It was the standard group interview process. But I honestly think they were waaay over capacity. No one really got to talk about themselves and it sucked that I was the only other woman there besides a nice lady who was going into their business department. We watched some movies about how Apple works worldwide and they described the different positions they had open at the time. The hiring manager came in at the end and asked if anyone had questions.
