I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Austin, TX) in Dec 2009
Interview
It was going great, 2 interviews with the hiring manager, and 2 more with peers and lateral groups collaborating. The fifth interview was a shocking surprise. It was with the director, lasted for about 13 - 15 minutes, the agenda was to eliminate. Did not get to discussing any topic related to the job.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Apr 2026
Interview
Reached out by HR for initial screening by HM. Interviewed with HM for 30 mins. Brief intro followed by questions on background & the work I have done and the product I have launched. Career trajectory
Best interview process I had in years. Very professional and went all the way to the last round. Disappointed I didn't get an offer but it was a great experience.
Behavioral interviews and case question at the end testing storytelling, the final presentation can be on any topic it’s very Apple. People are very kind and it’s culture driven not typical case questions.
