Interviewed Aug 2011 in Overland Park, KS (took 3 days)
Applied online then personally handed hiring manager resume. Got invited to a hiring event, approximately 30 people. Immediately started role playing, speaking individually in front of everyone. Approximately 2 hours. After a week, called back for a second "speed dating" type interview. Just two of us in a room with two groups of interviewers. After a week called back for an individual interview by approximately 7 or 8 around a table. The secret is to be yourself, care about people more than technology. Technology NEVER entered into the equation. Let your true passion for people and their product come out. It's not about "the close" it about the connection.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 5 days)
It is a very different process. Unlike any other I have ever been through. I went through 3 interviews. Each interview was a group interview that were consistently shorter each time. They would make you wait for awhile before each interview and observe you as you interacted with the other candidates as well as the "mentors".

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Honolulu, HI (took a day)
There were forty people at the group interview that I was invited to. So, I was really nervous because everyone seemed to be somewhat qualified for the retail positions being offered. We watched a video, then had a partner introduction. We had to ask our partner, "Why we want to work for Apple?", "What?s one interesting fact?" and then we needed to present our partner. Then we watched another video. Then we split up into seven groups and asked some questions about our prior work experience. They were pretty general questions and then there was a Q & A portion. Then, it done. They told us they would call us back in a week to let us know if we made it to the next interview process, which is the panel interview. They called me back the next day.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Phoenix, AZ (took a day)
Group interview, interview the person next to you then introduce them to the entire room. After that, broke into teams of 12 or so and talked to the hiring managers that asked regular interview questions.
