I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple in Sept 2016
Interview
I interviewed for the Siri Server Engineer role.
The hiring manager asked to make a rest application. After completing the project, they invited me for an onsite interview. I cleared by schedule accordingly. Just two days before the onsite interview, the recruiter asked me to give a phone screen. After the phone screen, they sent me a reject email and cancelled my travel arrangements. This impacted my current work schedule. This was a horrible experience for me and i hope nobody has to go through such last minute cancellations.

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
