Question 1
Describe one time where you went above and beyond for a customer?
Call interview first then team interview. Youll be in a call with 6-7 other candidates if i remember correctly and you take turns answering questions asked by the hiring manager
Plusieurs entretiens, systématiquement en groupe. Processus assez long. Le plus difficile des entretiens que je connaisse. Parfois une longue attente avant réponse. Possibilité de repasser un entretien 6 mois après un échec.

Question 1
Racontez une situation difficile et comment vous y avez fait face.
It’s a very long process so have patience. Sometimes they will give you feedback but if you are external you will just receive a turn down email. Keep applying. Apple says it’s not a NO. It’s a not now and that’s very true.
