Around 2 months after I submitted my resume for Apple software engineer position, I got a call from the hiring manager. He asked me what was the good day for the interview. It took half day for meeting 5 people. It was long hour interview for me. Each interviewer spent ~ 30 minutes and asked ~ 4 questions. Each interviewer asked questions in the different areas.

Application
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Apple in Mar 2019
Interview
I applied for a Siri / iCloud software developer position in Seattle, but I got matched to a recruiter in Cupertino hiring full-stack developers.
Before I was given an interview, the recruiter talked me over the phone. He believed that I could move forward and asked me to expect a technical interview. On the day of interview, instead of being given a technical interview, the manager of the recruiter called me and told me that it was going to be mostly non-technical questions. He spent 20 minutes asking me questions regarding my past experience since my undergraduate, which was 15 years ago. He challenged me on my decision to choose the major for undergraduate. And then asked me why I took the next step for every single change. I understand that they're supposed to learn about my experience, but the questions he asked made me uncomfortable. I don't feel those are the most important things he should learn about me either. He at last asked why I chose his team in Apple. I did not apply for the team, but got matched uncorrected. Neither the location nor the skills are a match. When he realized that my skill set is not a match for what they're looking for, he became very impatiently and told me that he had run out of time and ended the call. Of course, they declined me. The whole process was a mess from starting.

Q: Why did you choose this major for your undergraduate? Why did you not choose that one?
The interview was easy, we talked about technical stuff in-depth: os, drivers. If they think you know something, they would ask you till they find where your knowledge ends. So be ready
