I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple
Interview
Interview started off well, with smiles and casual chatting. However on one of the questions interviewer asked what I do in my spare time I explained to them i do charity rides for causes such as Palestine, from the moment I mentioned ‘Palestine’ the interviewers face changed and seemed like he no longer wanted to see my face or speak to me, I believe due to the fact that I mentioned ‘Palestine’ it was a guaranteed ‘NO’ from the interviewer even though I believe I performed the best and asked the important questions. I was also told that they will get back to me on the 24th a week from the interview date regarding my results however due to the aforementioned issue they declined within 24 hours, i spoke with the other colleagues i did the group interview with, they have not received any emails. As a whole Apple is an amazing company but i believe the interviewer judging by the way he changed his tone and look, has a dark and hidden agenda which goes against the qualities of the Apple company.
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.
Famously competitive as always, my odds were better since I kept updating my resume whenever I was on the job search. They reached out to me first by email, I completed an application, and then had three rounds of interviews in total.
