I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple in Aug 2015
Interview
I had about 7-9 phone calls with various people. About half of the interviewers didn't call on time, and a quarter of them only wanted to talk for about 15 minutes (for a scheduled 30-minute interview). The questions were completely fair and tested more on my background rather than random Cracking the Code Interview-type questions. I actually really enjoyed the interviews, but I wish I didn't have so many.
