The interview process starts with an initial HR phone call to discuss background, role fit, and logistics. This is followed by a first-round technical interview with an engineer on the team, which focuses on hands-on problem solving and code-level discussions.

Around 2 months after I submitted my resume for Apple software engineer position, I got a call from the hiring manager. He asked me what was the good day for the interview. It took half day for meeting 5 people. It was long hour interview for me. Each interviewer spent ~ 30 minutes and asked ~ 4 questions. Each interviewer asked questions in the different areas.
6 rounds. 1 Technical Screening. Then onsite loop consisted of 4 rounds of behavioral, 2 technicals, and 1 sys design. Had an additional Hiring Manager round since I was borderline.
