I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in May 2010
Interview
I met with the hiring manager then with 4 or five interviewers. I had the feeling that the interviews went well. At the end the recruiter ask me questions about my current salary and then nothing. One of the interviewer spend the whole time to show me how good is to work at apple but did not ask me questions.

Interview
I had several apple interviews earlier, all the people(no matter HR, engineer or manager) were friendly and professional. However, this particular manager is being very rude, did not turn on his camera, did not introduce himself, and had frequent remarks like"if you don't know this you shouldn't be doing this job" even before I started answering the question. By the end of the day I did not even know his last name. This is not one of the worst interview I had, because this is THE WORST interview I ever had. It came more like a shock to me that apple allows this type of manager to exist, kind of dodged a bullet there.

Interview
Apple's interview process typically involves multiple stages. It begins with an online application and may include phone screenings and technical assessments, depending on the role. For technical positions, candidates face challenging coding or design exercises. Successful candidates progress to onsite interviews, where they meet with multiple team members. These interviews assess technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and cultural fit. Apple places a strong emphasis on innovation and teamwork. The process varies depending on the specific job, but it generally aims to evaluate both technical competence and alignment with Apple's values and culture, focusing on fostering innovation and excellence.
It was two days of interview process after going through telephonic rounds. The team was very happy and the recruiter also told me that team is interested in my candidacy. However, something changed last minute. The recruiter told me they needed a senior person. They realized this after 18-20 rounds of interview. Waste of my and their time.
