I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Sept 2018
Interview
Phone screen with recruiter, phone screen with hiring manager, and phone screen with director. Director asked why I left my previous role. After stating that it was a personal reason, he continued to dig deeper into the reason, which made me feel incredibly uncomfortable. It started to verge on illegal (he asked questions pertaining to my family and why I chose not to take family leave at my last job). Please take the time to research your rights as an applicant and do not feel obligated to answer personal questions like these. THIS IS ILLEGAL.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Walk me through your background. Why are you interested in this position? What are some of the models you've worked with? Why did you leave your last company? Why are you interested in Apple?
The interview process included an initial recruiter screening, technical and behavioral interviews, Excel and financial analysis assessments, followed by panel discussions focused on budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, reporting, and problem-solving skills.
I only made it through the first stage. The interviewers were very friendly and the questions were open ended which made it easier to answer. I felt comfortable and at ease.

Question 1
When have you disagreed with your manager and how did you handle it?
I only got to the HR screener so can't give to many details. Standard HR questions involving tell me about yourself and juggling deadlines. Not many technicals in the HR round.
