I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA)
Interview
Pretty standard interview process. I had an HR interview to start with (just to discuss the roll and my background). After that it was a couple of technical interviews followed by an onsite in Cupertino.
The onsite was a little tiring with ~6hrs of interviews but everyone was really nice and it didn't seem like any of them wanted to stump me. I was a little frustrated because they never allowed me to see anything other than the interview room and the cafeteria. It would have been nice to at least be able to see the workplace I would have been in.
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.
6 rounds. 1 Technical Screening. Then onsite loop consisted of 4 rounds of behavioral, 2 technicals, and 1 sys design. Had an additional Hiring Manager round since I was borderline.
