Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in September 2013.

Interview

At Apple I believe all interviews are tag team in other words there are at least two managers from different departments: the one you were going to work for and the one you were going to serve. There are also senior employees from the Department you'll be working alongside. One member from Human Resources also will be part of the interview. But this interview process is approximately 3 to 4 hours long, each individual gets approximately 45 minutes to an hour with you so you'll have to be prepared for a long process. How are the accommodations and the room are plush, I don't know if that makes you less or more nervous. This information is not a part of the process but I feel it's very important and as looking down I don't see this question the draft which would be dressed very casually I don't suggest wearing a tie. By that I mean nice jeans loafers and maybe a polo shirt or a button up shirt.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Tampa, FL) in May 2018.

Interview

2 phone screens and some email chains back and forth. The phone interviews were not only technical but cultural, but I had found this opportunity through a CTF competition sponsored by Apple at a hackathon. They seemed very nice and enthusiastic about their work and give really good feedback. I did not get a direct offer due to timing but they said they wanted to extend an offer either for the fall or upon graduation, as it was for an intership.
