I applied in-person. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Nov 2008
Interview
The interview process initially was relaxed. I was introduced to one of the employees whose department was hiring. Then I met with the recruiter (also pretty relaxed). I was flown to Cupertino for a pretty intense day of interviews (placed in a conference room and grilled for about 6 hours). Questions ranged from my experience to specifics on the market I would be working in.

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.

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.
