El proceso tomó 1 semana. Acudí a una entrevista en Apple (Cupertino, CA) en dic 2008
Entrevista
I interviewed with the hiring manager, then with several team members, two at a time. The final interview was with VPs, one after the other. I was not told beforehand that they would be VPs. Aside from the background check, this is the final step before an offer is authorised.
My potential co-workers all seemed very capable, there was no bottom 5% as far as I could see. I hear that laziness or time pressure is the most likely cause of screw-ups or people not wanting to do things thoroughly, rather than people not having the technical know-how.

Around 2 months after I submitted my resume for Apple software engineer position, I got a call from the hiring manager. He asked me what was the good day for the interview. It took half day for meeting 5 people. It was long hour interview for me. Each interviewer spent ~ 30 minutes and asked ~ 4 questions. Each interviewer asked questions in the different areas.
6 rounds. 1 Technical Screening. Then onsite loop consisted of 4 rounds of behavioral, 2 technicals, and 1 sys design. Had an additional Hiring Manager round since I was borderline.
