I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (San Jose, CA) in Feb 2020
Interview
Phone call with recruiter, then hiring manager, and then in-person with several members of the team and adjacent teams, and then the director (more of a formality than a requirement)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you do if you were asked to help on an agreement and negotiation where the company's private and confidential information were implicated in potential government-manded disclosures for the other party, but not for Apple?
Multi-stage interview process including interview with multiple people discussing motivations, competency based questions covering relevant scenarios and expectations of the role. Also included some questions on recent themes and current affairs affecting Apple.
Long process and after 9 interviews (with more rounds added at random), I receive an automated rejection without any additional communication from the recruiter. Ultimately know the candidate it went to and was a good fit, but wish they’d communicated more.
Very short, single interview with manager. I’ve never been asked more direct questions in an interview. I think interviews that stress more conversational are much more effective. This felt like it was trying to get me to create a list of examples.
