I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Dec 2015
Interview
Initial screening by an engineer, then went on-site in Apple's headquarter for 5~6 rounds of 1 to 1 interviews. The interview was well organized. All the interviewers were quite nice, and you can tell they are smart and know the techs quite well. Of course, the questions can be quite tough, and mostly technical.
Screening, followed by onsite. At least 4-5 hours of interview sessions. Diagramming on white board. Questions on digital design and signal integrity. Tough. Detailed. Also questions on experience and culture fit.
