I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Apple (California City, CA)
Interview
Was a long, inefficient and unproductive process which spanned over 3 months and were asked the same questions more numbers than I can count. You’ll repeatedly be asked about yourself and asked the same questions by half if not more of the panelists and I’d advise you to avoid this process which is essentially wasting your time and theirs
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself.
Multiple repetitive behavioural questions
Exhaustive process, the recruiter and the timeline was 3 months long without a proper clarity on where am I heading in the process. Overall good experience with the teams and they are pretty nice.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Apple (New York, NY) in Mar 2026
Interview
Very thorough and technical. It’s a highly competitive process for PMs so have strong POVs for product roadmap that are relevant to Apple with insight into Dev knowledge as well. This is on par with other FAANG companies, and I suggest have a POV prepared on growing and scaling with AI.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to pivot a product strategy halfway through execution.
