I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Roseville, CA) in Sept 2012
Interview
Overall the interview process was simular to others referenced -my one concern was the time lag between mt second interview (face to face) and any contact. I called, with no response at least half a dozen times and never got a return call or answer. My final communication was a very generic, bland email. Very disappointing.
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Apple (New York, NY) in Jan 2023
Interview
We were interviewed in a group setting as a "conversation". It was difficult to get a word in as one of the interviewees took over every questions. They should try to give each person a chance to speak.

Question 1
What is your favorite apple product? How do you respond when a friend or family member critiques and apple product?
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Houston, TX)
Interview
The hiring process was rather quick for myself, however I have seen the process take a while for many others as well. It is incredibly difficult to get into the job if you don't fit the current culture of that store.

Question 1
Nothing stood out, but if I had to choose one it would be, How long do you plan to be with the company?
Arduous process. Lengthy. Expect multiple interviews, beginning with a phone or Face Time interview with a recruiter that asks you scenario questions. Then, you move on to the store interview, and prepare for a panel. They are more interested if you "fit in." The process can drag on, and if you're lucky, you get a second interview and maybe a third and maybe a job.
