I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA)
Interview
the interviewer was efficient in dividing the time. He asked questions about my resume then technical questions, then question that I can ask. the HR was also efficient in scheduling the call
The process involved multiple online interviews across six to eight rounds, stretching over several months, making it an unusually long and prolonged hiring experience with significant waiting periods between stages.
The interview process at Apple typically starts with a recruiter screening, followed by multiple rounds of interviews—including portfolio reviews, technical and design challenges, and behavioral/cultural fit discussions with team members and hiring managers. It’s known for being rigorous, collaborative, and focused on both creative problem-solving and alignment with Apple’s design principles and values.
