I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA)
Interview
I was contacted by recruiter by email originally. First phone screen with recruiter, then 2 additional phone screens with fellow engineer and hiring manager. I was then invited for onsite and then another follow-up onsite. The entire process was extremely long, at the end of it I had interviewed with 12 people. High level, but fair. Technical questions from each interview.
