I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple in May 2018
Interview
Got contacted 2+ months after submitting CV.
1st phone interview was with a senior hardware engineer who asked a lot of questions about the projects in CV. All questions are technical.
2nd phone interview was with the group manager. It was all about the position. Only several technical questions.
Not hard. Both interviewers are really nice.
