I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Feb 2010
Interview
I went through a series of 4 phone interviews.
I was asked very specific case questions on Supply Chain (Applecare - Global Commodity management was the group) and very few behavioral questions.
I first interviewed with what would become my hiring manager, then with another manager. Third interview was with a director and the fourth with what would become my peers.
After the first interview I waited for about a week but I was told right away I would get a second interview. Between the second and the third it was a matter of 2 days. Fourth interview was more a formality.

Question 1
I don't know your University. Tell me about its Supply Chain Curriculum.
Imagine to have 2 warehouses, one on the east coast and one on the west coast. Imagine you consolidate into a central one. You'd expect safety stock inventory to go down but for some reason it goes up. Can you tell me what could have happened?
