I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Apple (Paris) in Jul 2014
Interview
7 interviews in 3 rounds, all over Skype. I was applying for the role of Siri Language Engineer, so it was not hardcore software engineering or I think I'd have had to go into the offices in Cupertino in person.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you get Siri to deal with a language in which questions had the same word order as statements? Suppose the user says 'I have a meeting at 4pm today'. This could be a question or a statement in this language, so how should Siri deal with this?
Around 2 months after I submitted my resume for Apple software engineer position, I got a call from the hiring manager. He asked me what was the good day for the interview. It took half day for meeting 5 people. It was long hour interview for me. Each interviewer spent ~ 30 minutes and asked ~ 4 questions. Each interviewer asked questions in the different areas.
6 rounds. 1 Technical Screening. Then onsite loop consisted of 4 rounds of behavioral, 2 technicals, and 1 sys design. Had an additional Hiring Manager round since I was borderline.
