HR contacted me through LinkedIn. Phone interview is scheduled a week later. Interviewer is fresh out of school with less than a year experience. He clearly didn't know how to conduct an interview. He didn't even introduce himself or ask me for my intro. He seemed disinterested
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple in Mar 2018
Interview
Had a quick chat with the recruiter and then scheduled for a one hour phone screen. It was more than 2 weeks since interview and they never got back even after emailing them asking for feedback. So I assume this is a reject.
To Recruiters: Please respect candidates time and give feedback after the interview

The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Apple in Jan 2018
Interview
One of the most UNPROFESSIONAL interviews I have been in.
Interviewed with 3 teams at Apple. Cleared the technical phone screen with all 3 teams BUT when I spoke to the hiring managers on the next call (for each team), I started to think do I really want to work here?
Each hiring manager was very rude and the furthest thing from humble, they interrupted me regularly, mocked me on my age (I have 4 years of experience work experience, but I’m 25). To add insult to injury they all boasted how their teams are building the next biggest thing (Maps, iTunes, Core).
I went to the on-site cause and cleared all 4 rounds but never have I felt super un-easy interviewing.
TLDR; got an offer declined it, because each of the hiring managers were complete jerks even though those in the teams were really nice.
