I applied online. The process took 7 months. I interviewed at Apple
Interview
An extremely tiresome and stressful process. Recruiter reached out two months after I had applied online. The first interviews I received were a series of phone screens, each one with a several week gap in between. This was followed (again, several weeks later) by a virtual onsite, which consisted of ten 30-45 minute interviews with members of the team. The whole process took over half a year and ultimately I never received any feedback after the onsite. At no stage was the recruiter forthcoming with any kind of information, whether about the job itself, the interview process, or feedback.
The interviews themselves were informal, with most of the content being on technical questions. Phone screen interviews were very similar to those in the onsite. The interviews were fun and challenging but the process left me with a horrible impression of the company.

Question 1
Many questions about things I had mentioned on my resume
Around 2 months after I submitted my resume for Apple software engineer position, I got a call from the hiring manager. He asked me what was the good day for the interview. It took half day for meeting 5 people. It was long hour interview for me. Each interviewer spent ~ 30 minutes and asked ~ 4 questions. Each interviewer asked questions in the different areas.
The interview was easy, we talked about technical stuff in-depth: os, drivers. If they think you know something, they would ask you till they find where your knowledge ends. So be ready
