I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Sep 2011
Interview
Interview was very professionally organized, Apple HR knows what they are doing. The recruiter was your usual salesperson, trying to convince you to join.
Screening, followed by onsite. At least 4-5 hours of interview sessions. Diagramming on white board. Questions on digital design and signal integrity. Tough. Detailed. Also questions on experience and culture fit.
