I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in May 2019
Interview
Recruiter phone call - hiring manager phone call - onsite rounds. A long process that needed a lot of follow ups, was rejected as a different candidate was hired with better PM experience.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Mar 2026
Interview
Mostly just asked questions of background. Not too technical mostly just to see if experience matches, a few role related questions. Tried to match up role responsibilities with experience you had across jobs, just verify experience and a couple questions on how to handle challenges.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Apple
Interview
Two half hour phone interviews and then a full day of interviews with 6-10 people in person. Some were with 2 people and some were 1:1. One guy just gave me a tour because he knew how long those days were and he just wanted to give me a chance to get some air and exercise.
