I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in May 2025
Interview
A tech screening followed by a second round tech screening. For the third round, surprise! 5 more rounds of tech screening, all interviewers(all engineers) are friendly and professional, except for the hiring manager, who's more blunt and assertive. however, no feedback will be provided as always if you get rejected.
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Mar 2011
Interview
Got a cold call from an internal apple recruiter on linkedin. She spoke to me on the phone about touch panel hardware engineering opportunities, and said that the first step in the interview process was a skills test. They give you 24 hours to finish, and it consists of some open ended, and some fundamental electrical engineering questions. After taking the exam, I have a sneaking suspicion that the presentation is every bit as important as the content. I say this because I hand wrote my answers and scanned them in; I happen to know that I got 6/7 correct, however I just didn't polish it up. Well, ok, I did one powerpoint slide for the final question. Best of luck friends.
