I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Sunnyvale, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
I was contacted by an internal recruiter of theirs and then spoke to the hiring manager briefly over the phone (25min or so). I was then invited in for an in-person interview. For the on-site interview, I met with different 6 people, as well as a presentation of about 30min. The interviewers where from a diverse background (from a position and skill set perspective) and were all intelligent.
