I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Aug 2012
Interview
Multiple phone interviews with various managers and team members. Friendly and surprisingly unorthodox compared to the run of the mill European software houses I was accustomed to. Persistently follows you up. Company seems to have an interesting mix of talent, and seems to seek people who aren't necessarily pure engineers.

Interview
Very friendly interview with questions about background and recent projects. No technical questions at all, he made the process very smooth. My experience was not suitable with what they are looking for so didn't go through second round, but very nice guy interviewed me, hope all interviews are like that.

My manager asked me about the projects in my resume.

He did not ask many questions about the syntax.
I thought he would like the candidate to show the learning ability and enthusiasm for the work.
That was my first interview. It was unforgettable because it changed my life.
