I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Apple in Feb 2018
Interview
Contacted by recruiter via LinkedIn. Then short convo w/ recruiter, followed by a call with team manager, then coding interview. Was ghosted after that. My email software even shows when they viewed my follow-up emails! Very unprofessional. What if a prospective engineer wanted to apply a few years down the road after their skills had improved, but were so off-put by the unprofessionalism they wouldn't bother. Even a quick copy-paste template reject email goes a long way. Have had much better experiences with other big tech companies like Facebook.

Question 1
NDA but basic leetcode algorithm questions. A few behavior questions but algorithm questions are really the only thing they seem to care about unless you're overly weird/crazy. Don't even bother w/ personal projects.
Around 2 months after I submitted my resume for Apple software engineer position, I got a call from the hiring manager. He asked me what was the good day for the interview. It took half day for meeting 5 people. It was long hour interview for me. Each interviewer spent ~ 30 minutes and asked ~ 4 questions. Each interviewer asked questions in the different areas.
The interview was easy, we talked about technical stuff in-depth: os, drivers. If they think you know something, they would ask you till they find where your knowledge ends. So be ready
