I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Feb 2020
Interview
A technical phone round and then onsite with 5 back to back interviews. After all rounds, they said I did well, but has to wait as they are interviewing other candidates. I waited for 2 months and no update from them. So i reached back to the recruiter and the recruiter says that I am still under consideration. Finally the recruiter calls me to discuss offer expectations and promised to send me an offer in couple of days. But after that no response from recruiter at all, I waited for couple weeks and sent them another email but no response to any of my emails. Finally I was fed up and left it. They dont respect the time, effort and energy put by candidate. They simple ghost you without any proper reason. If they had found another person for the role, why dont they simply inform me that and I would move on. This is a very bad experience that I never expected from a company like Apple. I would never interview with Apple again.
