The process was relatively standard.
Phone screen: Asked to explain why I was interested in joining Apple. Background and experience review ( I had been advised earlier to not underestimate the phone calls).
Did my best to respond confidently and communicate effectively.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most of the questions were behavioral, with a few situational ones thrown in. I was asked about challenges I’ve faced, how I work cross-functionally, and moments where I’ve had to influence without authority.
I leaned heavily on mocks from igotanoffer and my prep with the Product Alliance course,
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Apr 2026
Interview
Reached out by HR for initial screening by HM. Interviewed with HM for 30 mins. Brief intro followed by questions on background & the work I have done and the product I have launched. Career trajectory
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Apple (New York, NY) in Mar 2026
Interview
Very thorough and technical. It’s a highly competitive process for PMs so have strong POVs for product roadmap that are relevant to Apple with insight into Dev knowledge as well. This is on par with other FAANG companies, and I suggest have a POV prepared on growing and scaling with AI.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to pivot a product strategy halfway through execution.
Best interview process I had in years. Very professional and went all the way to the last round. Disappointed I didn't get an offer but it was a great experience.
