I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Apple in Dec 2015
Interview
One day night got an email from a recruiter of apple saying a manager from a hardware group would like to set up a phone interview with me. The time between I got that email and the phone interview was less than a week. During the interview, the manager basically asked the project I have done.
Introduced myself and research in the beginning and got asked bunch of technical questions with simple coding problem at the end. The manager explained about the team before the interview ended
Screening, followed by onsite. At least 4-5 hours of interview sessions. Diagramming on white board. Questions on digital design and signal integrity. Tough. Detailed. Also questions on experience and culture fit.
