I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Apple (Londen, Engeland) in Jun 2023
Interview
The process was pretty straightforward. I first spoke with a recruiter who asked about my background, why I was interested in Apple, and what kind of sales/accounts I had worked on before. After that I had a call with the hiring manager, which was more focused on how I manage a pipeline, build relationships with customers, and handle sales targets.
The last round was with a couple people from the team. They asked mostly behavioral questions and a few situational ones, like how I would deal with a difficult client or grow an existing account. Nothing felt unfair, but they definitely wanted specific examples instead of general answers. The process took a few weeks overall, and there were some gaps between updates, but everyone I spoke with was professional.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you dealt with a difficult customer, and how you managed it effectively
Typical questions, however, they did add in a few problem solving and quick on your feet type questions. One of which was subjective and an answer cannot be determined based on the information provided.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Apple (Oslo)
Interview
Long and slow process. Gender discrimination, all focus lies on hiring females. Interview panels with pre-decided questions. Slow and confusing communication from the international recruiting team. Often already decided who (since a few years back women only) will receive the job and the process with several candidates is only for show.
