I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Apple (San Jose, CA) in Aug 2019
Interview
Apple recruiter reached out to me via Linked in. The phone interview was setup with the hiring manager. The interview was very good and the interviewer was very intelligent. Then had a second phone interview with a software engineering manager. The questions were not difficult. But have not heard after that.
Several layers of interviews beginning with HR, individual, panel, and presentation. There was nothing special or different than many companies are now using - the process takes over a month.
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.
