I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple in Nov 2012
Interview
-3 interviews, one with a working team manager
--asked several basic technical answers, they are looking more at your people skills
-they prefer skype or facetime
-once the process starts, it goes by extremely quickly
-very little wiggle room on salary
-the hardest part was the team manager interview, best bet is to just stay nervous, and even if you don't know the answer, think people skills first and foremost
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you troubleshoot a email that didnt send?
Phone call, followed by a technical interview, followed by a video generated interview. Interesting process, takes a few weeks to hear back but working with apple is work it, great standard there
Interview questions about culture or apple after that.they check my confidence and trust because it is most important in all company. trust makes us friendly with company and just because of it we all did it very smoothly and enjoy the work
I first spoke on the phone with a recruiter then scheduled an interview virtually. We role played a series of potential scenarios and they asked some questions. It was pretty straightforward and flowed really smoothly.
