Apple Project Manager interview questions

Applied online. 1-2 months later, I had a phone screen with recruiter. It went really well and the recruiter seemed to really love working there when I asked if she liked working at Apple. Had a phone interview with hiring manager within 2-3 days. The call started out shaky because he was late and an executive admin called me to let him know he was going to be 30 minutes late. Overall, I thought it was a good interview but I was emailed 2 days after stating I wasn't a good fit.

The position was identified by a specialized third party recruiter. I first spoke with the third party recruiter to explain my experience. I next spoke briefly on the phone with the Apple hiring manager before a long one-on-one interview with the hiring manager. I had a second on-site interview series where I interviewed with several members of the team, including the original hiring manager. I finally had a short telephone conversation with the director of the department. Shortly thereafter, I received a call from the internal HR team to discuss salary expectations. After a frank discussion of my salary requirements, the HR team met with the business, then returned to me with the same salary, but included a sign-on bonus. After agreeing on the start date, I received my offer in the mail about a week later. The whole process was ~6 weeks.
