I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Apple (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
IT was a long process. They had three stages, first for phone interview then skype then on site. Overall the interview process was not long. They hired me right away after the third interview.
I applied through other source. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Apple in Aug 2018
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn about a networking event for students and attended (mid summer). I wasn’t able to talk to a lot of employees due to long lines but I gave my resume out to three people and talked with two recruiters. A month later I was contacted through email asking if I was still interested/wanted to schedule an interview. I had my interview a week later on site with two members of the team. Two weeks later I received a call from the manager and the university recruiter saying I would be receiving an offer letter soon. This may have been slightly different because this internship is a co-op and I’ll be taking time off of college to intern here for 9 months. The interview itself was pretty casual and although there were supposed to be 4-5 interviewers, half couldn’t make it so there were only 2 team members interviewing me.

Interview
Interviewed with someone from Apple on campus, but was not chosen to proceed with that team. He seemed to have passed around my resume around and I heard back from two other teams that were interested in interviewing me. Had a very rough first phone interview with one of the two managers but passed to the second round. Had 3 back to back 45 min interviews on coderpad. All three were technical though none asked me to compile my code. Heard back two days later through a phone call that I was made an offer! I’ve interviewed with Apple before and back then it took them three weeks before they gave me a no. I think they move really fast when they’re actually interested in you but quite slow otherwise. Overall still really good experience. Learned a lot about the environment and expectations through the interviews. Interviewers were very friendly, one of them was especially nice and encouraging even when I couldn’t answer the question in full.
