I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Apple
Interview
its very long, many interviews in some cases panels with multiple store leaders. many situational based questions. have your stories on point, detailed and nail the question. They look for the use of the 67 Lominger competencies. if you use these to describe yourself and use them in your stories you may get the job.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had a difficult employee, how did you manage this employee to improve performance what was the situation and the outcome.
I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA)
Interview
The interviewer was unprepared, showed up late, and acted very informally. They had no idea who they were interviewing and had not read my resume. Only want to hear what they/he/she wanted to hear, and it felt like they were just had a bad day.
Met with the recruiter and the hiring manager but unfortunately I was not able to get past that round. Recruiter did say they will try to reach out again in the future so crossing my fingers I get another chance.
I had 5 interviews, these were with the recruiter, my line manager, line manager's peer, senior leader, then finally my manager's manager. In my experience, the interviews were mostly pretty simple.
