I applied through an employee referral. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Apple
Interview
Questions where about low level computer internals. I was asked programming problems and to optimize everything the more I could. The whole process was way more about the field I'm working in, not an abstract programming process with no interest in my knowledge.

Question 1
What was the hardest problem you solved and how did you solve it?
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.
The interview was easy, we talked about technical stuff in-depth: os, drivers. If they think you know something, they would ask you till they find where your knowledge ends. So be ready
