I applied through other source. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Jan 2022
Interview
It was a contract to hire situation so it was fairly seamless. I had been doing the job for a few years at that point, so I already knew the hiring manager and all of the people on the team. The hiring manager approached me and assessed interest and I had a few phone calls with a recruiter negotiating pay. They were pretty stringent and didn't fully meet my pay expectations, which was a little frustrating but overall the process was fairly easy and I didn't go through a formal interview channel.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Apr 2026

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.
