I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Aug 2015
Interview
The entire process took very very long. Other than a short phone call with the recruiter, I was on site for 4 times -- 1 45 min session with the hiring manager, another 45 min technical session, and then a 1 day long interview. I was called on site again later for one 45 min session for someone who cannot make it for the 1 day long interview. Overall the experience was good. People are friendly and willing to share about their experience and the role I am applying to (despite the fact that they have to keep lots of things secrecy...)
Introduced myself and research in the beginning and got asked bunch of technical questions with simple coding problem at the end. The manager explained about the team before the interview ended
Screening, followed by onsite. At least 4-5 hours of interview sessions. Diagramming on white board. Questions on digital design and signal integrity. Tough. Detailed. Also questions on experience and culture fit.
