I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Sep 2011
Interview
Initial phone interview for about 20 minutes and then in person interview meeting with a recruiter. Interviewer seemed distracted and kept taking phone calls or looking at their iPhone. Felt like it was a complete waste of time. Sent a thank you email. I never did hear back from the recruiter after that. Very unprofessional behavior on the part of the recruiter.
I applied online. It was a virtual interview with people from the team that I would be reporting to. I didn’t hear back after interviewing, but the process itself was straightforward.

Question 1
The interviewers asked about my organizational skills.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Apple
Interview
This was the worst interview I've ever been on. The recruiter was 20 minutes late for the phone call, asked me 2 questions, mocked my answers & even laughed, and hung up. It was a truly awful & demeaning experience. Apple and the external agencies they work with still reach out to me frequently to interview for the same role, which means they aren't in the loop about how candidates are treated & tracked.
