I applied in-person. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA)
Interview
contacted by a recruiter. She liked my answer and set me up for on-campus interview. I met the person who would be my manager and director. Both of them were not smart and did not understand the process. I ended up explaining why they were wrong. I found out later on the manager did not even have a bachelor which explain a lot. I impressed them with easy answer and they made an offer.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple
Interview
I had two 2:1 interviews. First one with two members of the team, including a guy I would be replacing, second with that same guy and head of the team. It consisted of the standard now "consulting-style", so three parts: talking about my experience and achievements and how they would fit to the role (easy), a case or two (less easy) and then I was able to ask questions about the role, company etc. I was rejected at the final stage and they didn't give any feedback. They went with somebody else.
