I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Apple (Waterloo, ON) in Apr 2014
Interview
Came to campus. Had two technical in-person interviews, and that was followed by 3 phone-interviews with other team members and another manager. Ultimately the phone interviews were non-technical, but did dive into some of my previous projects and work.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Class AB amplifier transfer characteristics, Inverter operation, identifying feedback type, Single-ended vs Differential mode response in amplifiers, system-level block diagram for iProduct subsystems, some simple scripting questions related to parsing, and some very general noise questions.
I did on campus recruiting and didn't make it to the 2nd round of interviews. It was really casual and more about fit than anything else. The interviewer was very friendly and helpful in answering some of my questions. It is a very competitive position though so it's hard to get a second round.
