Interviewed Jul 2011 in Dallas, TX (took 2 days)
Applied online, interviewed by phone, then interviewed in a group setting. The interview seemed to be geared to in store workers, yet I had applied for leadership positions. The group was told that we would be contacted the next day regardless of the outcome, but no call ever came.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 2 days)
Sat there for 2 hours with about 20 other people while they told us we were lucky to be there, and that it's harder to be hired by Apple than it is to get into Stanford. Had to pick a partner and introduce them to the group/management, had group discussions.

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 3 weeks)
I was told to have the interview on campus after a career fair. I had interviews with two people from different teams. The first person asked me many questions about my previous experiences, like what things I had done in the past. Then he asked me several easy technical questions. An example question is what to consider when doing object-oriented programming. I said loose coupling is important. It went pretty well but it didn't get into deeper questions.
The second person I met asked me some UI questions. Obvious he's looking for engineers that are willing to do front-end work and have a good design sense. I showed him some of my designs. Later, he switch gears to lower-level problems relating to OS. Some of the questions he asked include "Tell me about the difference between a process and a thread?", "How to prevent dead lock?", and "What's the difference between stack and heap? Which one is faster?". I was not so prepared for some of the OS questions so it didn't go so well.
Both interview went for about half an hour. I appreciate both of them being very patient and nice during the process.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in San Diego, CA (took 5 days)
About 30 applicants were called in after applying on Apple.com/jobs. We were all greeted in a very friendly way by the Apple staff and they were extremely enthusiastic. We watched a couple videos about Apple and the Human Resources Manger told us more about Apple and her role and what they expect from us - also about each position. Then we got into group of 5 and answered questions about previous job experience, what we did in certain situations, and our involvement and contributions to our previous jobs. If you made that round, you were called back the following day or next day and had a 1:1 interview with two different people. One asked technical questions about computers, technology, etc., and the other was more of a behavioral interview asking what we'd do in certain situations.

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took a day)
Applied online and was invited to attend a group interview last night. About 18 people were there ranging in age from new college graduates to older, retired people. After the Apple managers introduced themselves, we were asked to do the same and to talk briefly about what piece of "technology" they really felt was their favorite. It did not have to be an Apple product, yet it seemed that everyone pulled some sort of Apple technology out of the bag, ranging from love of iPhones to Mac computers. A video was shown to give the applicants a basic understanding of their store layout and personnel functions. Then, we were put into 4 groups to do a little role-play scenario regarding a certain product. We all tried to have something to contribute and the managers were looking for the use of features and benefits in our presentations. A Q & A session followed, and then we were set on our way. We were told that this would be the first in a series of interviews, (if we were called back), and that we should hear something either way within the next week. No doubt during this entire 2 hour period the managers were making notes, (some mental, some on paper), and they did stress the 'team" concept and approach.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Tampa, FL (took a day)
Looking for the right answers. Show determination in the company, show that it isn't just a job, but a part of your lifestyle. Be quick with answers. And if you don't know, then don't BS them. Flat at tell them, but remind them that you would be on your way to find the right answer if they so ever pleased.

Interviewed May 2010 in Fort Lauderdale, FL (took 3 weeks)
Came in 15 minutes early, the guy was really nice- dressed in shorts and a tee shirt. I was a fool dressed in a shirt and tie, after doing some home work I found that dressing casual is what is best. So when I went for the second interview dressed in a nice shirt and some jeans I got better looks (I guess for my individual style vs the corporate norm). Questions were fairly standard, process took 15 minutes.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took a day)
I applied online and sent in my resume and received a call a few weeks later to schedule an interview. The interview was 1:1 and for the most part the questions were mostly technical. Mostly about products and how to fix issues that costumers might have.
