I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Mar 2012
Interview
The interview processes seemed very disorganized when dealing with the recruiters. Once the in-person process started it wen't very smoothly with the folks being on time and asking relevant questions. Nothing too challenging.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Several scenario questions that were vague. For example, they wanted to know what I would do if the project was behind on its deliverables and the QA manager who was responsible for the slippage was on vacation. How would I approach that?
The interview process is straight forward, focus on behavior questions. Start with recruiter -> Hiring Manager -> Team member -> final panel interview with key stakeholders. The interview focuses on fit and assessing your background
