The position was a very appealing one and I was generally impressed with all of the Apple personnel with whom I met (17 1:1 interviews by the time I was done). It would have involved a very thick "dotted line" to my internal clients and I got a pretty good feel for most of them and looked forward to working with them. Despite the length of the process, the logistics of the phone interviews, the travel for the day in Cupertino and the in-person interviews generally went well. Questions were not exceptionally challenging, centering mostly on experience in vendor negotiations and client relationships.
