I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple in Apr 2022
Interview
It was a group interview where they asked multiple questions regarding their favorite apple products, what drew them to apple, etc. They also asked the typical "tell me a time questions". The only part that will throw you off is the group setting.
It was quick and easy. There were both multiple group interviews which isn't tough, but just need to be prepared on answering questions about experience and how you navigated through adversity

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Castle Hill) in Apr 2026
Interview
I had done the phone interview, and they'd started it off with getting me to explain a little about myself. They then asked situational questions that required me to tell and explain situations from my past experience and how I had overcome specific problems.
Very smooth! However it was a bit of a long process. Had 5 rounds and eventually got called back saying I didn’t get the job. Next day they told me I did. So please don’t give up!
