I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (San Diego, CA) in Aug 2023
Interview
It was relatively laid back with about 3 rounds of online interviews. First one was over the phone from the general recruiter. The last two were from people who actually work at the Apple store location. The questions were more so relating to you previous work experiences and your character.

Plusieurs entretiens, systématiquement en groupe. Processus assez long. Le plus difficile des entretiens que je connaisse. Parfois une longue attente avant réponse. Possibilité de repasser un entretien 6 mois après un échec.

Racontez une situation difficile et comment vous y avez fait face.
It’s a very long process so have patience. Sometimes they will give you feedback but if you are external you will just receive a turn down email. Keep applying. Apple says it’s not a NO. It’s a not now and that’s very true.
Famously competitive as always, my odds were better since I kept updating my resume whenever I was on the job search. They reached out to me first by email, I completed an application, and then had three rounds of interviews in total.
