I have heard that there are 3-4 rounds. After meeting the apple recruiters, First interview was on campus. Met recruiters at the career fair. Was invited for the first interview the next day. One hour slot. One-to-one face interview. It is in a casual setting with not too much pressure from them. Focus on basics from undergrad to gauge depth of knowledge. I interviewed for design and verification team.
