First starts with a recruiter call
Then to a EPM peer, where you have a conversation on background and standard questions as well as a prioritization question.
Then if you pass, then you would move onto a loop with 5 other stakeholders.
Difficult interview
Application
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Apple in Mar 2022
Interview
Had a phone interview that was a little on the difficult side but it could have been because I didn't get much sleep due to a family matter. The interview was fine but the disappointing part was being ghosted afterwards.
It was really shocking to see that such a prestigious company doesn't have a better recruiting process. The recruiter even said she would submit me for other roles if this one didn't work out and then stopped replying to my emails after being very responsive previously.
I would have at the very least appreciated an email letting me know I wasn't moving forward especially considering the recruiter is the one that reached out to me to apply.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your favorite Apple Product and why?
Would you rather be really good at one thing or would you rather be decently good at most things?
I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (Austin, TX) in Jan 2026
Interview
Behavior based questions and based on background. No technically complex questions. But need to be technically knowledgeable and have the relevant experience in both engineering and program management. Pretty standard questions asked from all interviewers. Recruiter screen, HM call, panel with presentation
I applied online. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA)
Interview
The overall interview process is long. It starts with general recruiter call followed by 2-3 one on one calls with hiring manager and recruiting teams, followed by a technical presentation and a day of panel interviews.
