I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Apr 2013
Interview
Phone screen with recruiter, phone screen with engineer, onsite interviews - whiteboard coding and infrastructure questions. The interview consisted of five interviews that where forty five minutes each, which also included lunch with the hiring manager. The lunch was I nice chance to relax and have a normal conversation, and not so much an interview.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Apple (Lon) in Feb 2021
Interview

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Apple (Columbus, OH) in Mar 2020
Interview
There were three rounds. First one was an introductory call with the recruiter. Second round was about 45 minute call with the Team Manager and a senior member of the team. Interview has some basic questions about sheet metal forming and tooling. Third round was an intensive round. It lasted about 5 hours and I met different people at Apple who would be interacting with a person in the tooling engineer role. There were a lot of questions checking the candidate's knowledge about sheet metal forming, GD&T and manufacturing process and lean manufacturing.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in May 2015
Interview
Standard phone interview, then two on site interviews. Some people were late or did not show. This caused rescheduling. A long list of written questions and several projects were asked for which was really too much for an interview.
