I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Apr 2018
Interview
Contact started with an Apple recruiter. They had reached out to me via linkedin. We discussed my resume and some of the open positions at Apple. I expressed interest in some of the positions. From here my resume was given to different hiring managers to see if there was any interest. 2 different teams were interested. 30 min phone interviews were setup with both teams. I was then invited to interview in person with both teams. They pay for everything; flight, rental car and hotel. The onsite interviews are more intense. You sit in a room with a white board and have back to back 30 min interviews with different members of the team. This goes on for about 6 hours. Lots of different questions covering many topics.

I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple in Dec 2011
Interview
4 phone interviews talked with 2 managers and the director of the department, two peer engineers. I applied for a position in CA in campus job website, but after two phone interviews, they move me to a position in China. The hiring process moved very fast in the beginning, It is a great opportunity after talking with them several times, but after I became so interested, the interviewing process slowed down. I am still waiting for further notices.

Found me on Linkedin. Recruiter was very detailed, through and honest. Gave notice when schedule needed to change. Interviews with the group team members were great, they were on time, efficient and left a good impression of the working conditions. Did not ask any improper questions. Hiring manager was great, keep interview light, no trick questions.
