      Very lengthy recruiting process beginning to end. First applied on website, then submitted resume, then had telephone interview, then 1:1 ... in between each step there was a wait period of several weeks. This company does not move quickly in its decision process.

      Anonymous employee
      Cupertino, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Apr 2011

      Interview

      After several phone screens (4) I was flown own to Apple's campus. Everything happened in one week. The on-site interview was long... It started at 9:15am and I left campus around 6:00pm. There were 15 separate 30 minute interviews. About 4 of them were personality type interview to assess whether or not I would be a good fit for the team I would work for, and the rest were all skill based interviews. Lots of questions about my skills with perl, Unix CLI, and Objective-C. There were lots of questions geared toward discovering my problem solving ability. I was asked to write lots of code on the white board and my knowledge was pushed to its limits. Everyone, however, was very kind and very bright. It was a whirlwind of a week.
