I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Dec 2012
Interview
My interview was not typical. I was an internal candidate with a long history working with the hiring manager. It was a very natural transition with the full support of my prior manager. Internal mobility is a great advantage of working in a company this size. You can find the "next thing" without giving up 401K, vacation and other benefits that increase over time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The manager didn't need to ask about me or my experience in general. We had worked together on several projects already. Instead he described the job and asked me for specific experience in the areas of project work I would be doing.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Apple (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2015
Interview
I applied through Reaching Out MBA (LGBT MBA job fair). Was invited for a dinner. Based on the conversation at the dinner some of us were invited for round 2. The interview in round 2 I feel went really well however the interviewer was very short and sounded disinterested and was rude.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1) Tell me about your self (and when I started telling he said keep it brief like 30 seconds).
2) There is an assembly line and all of a sudden it stopped working. No one is around how will you handle ?
3) Tell me something challenging about your career (and when I told him my answer he responded so whats challenging in that)
4) Whats the most proud accomplishment of your career ?
5) He asked me if I have any question for him. When I started asking the question he cut me short and said "even if you dont ask its fine"
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA)
Interview
5 interviews. Phone and in Person. There was a lot of behavioral and then it went into technical testing. It wasn't hard but they were looking for your critical thinking. It was an interesting interview process
