Honest the worst interview experience ever - I got ghosted halfway through the interview without a clear explanation after they told me I'm moving forward with the interview.
The total interview has 5 rounds: recruiter, hiring manager, team 1:1 then a final round of a presentation with panel. The first 3 rounds took about a month and a half (one round every two weeks). The recruiter reached out right after my 3rd round to schedule my next round, but after I sent back my availabilities they never confirmed a time again despite weeks of follow-ups. The recruiter kept saying they were looking for a time then stopped responding after 4/5 weeks.
Honestly, it's a huge disappointment given Apple was my top choice and the whole thing dragged on for almost three months. It would be understandable if they had changed the hiring plan or changed their mind about my case but there was never clear communication.

Also during the interview, 3 people asked the same question in 3 separate calls which I thought was a bit unusual - like the hiring team wasn't fully prepared or synced ahead.
