If the hiring manager or senior hiring manager is Indian, forget about getting the job unless you're Indian. Apple has a huge problem. Diversity isn't diversity of only some people of "color" have real opportunities. The other issue with Apple is that most people don't know how to conduct interviews. They spent too much time on "gotcha" questions instead of asking questions to get a genuine answer. You spend months going through the entire process only to be disrespected by the interviewers when they already know they won't give you an honest opportunity. So many games unfortunately.

Several layers of interviews beginning with HR, individual, panel, and presentation. There was nothing special or different than many companies are now using - the process takes over a month.
