I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Austin, TX) in Dec 2009
Interview
It was going great, 2 interviews with the hiring manager, and 2 more with peers and lateral groups collaborating. The fifth interview was a shocking surprise. It was with the director, lasted for about 13 - 15 minutes, the agenda was to eliminate. Did not get to discussing any topic related to the job.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Apr 2026
Interview
Reached out by HR for initial screening by HM. Interviewed with HM for 30 mins. Brief intro followed by questions on background & the work I have done and the product I have launched. Career trajectory
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Apple (New York, NY) in Mar 2026
Interview
Very thorough and technical. It’s a highly competitive process for PMs so have strong POVs for product roadmap that are relevant to Apple with insight into Dev knowledge as well. This is on par with other FAANG companies, and I suggest have a POV prepared on growing and scaling with AI.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to pivot a product strategy halfway through execution.
Best interview process I had in years. Very professional and went all the way to the last round. Disappointed I didn't get an offer but it was a great experience.
