Once I sent my resume, two hiring managers in the same Siri AI/ML org wanted to talk, so Apple ran one combined process for both EPM roles instead of making me do two separate loops. I did two hiring manager screens, then a joint onsite with a data science manager, an ML engineering manager, another behavioral round with one of the hiring managers, and a final conversation with a very senior engineering leader. The whole thing felt extremely team-dependent and very niche, especially the ML metrics parts, which is what made it different from more generic big-tech TPM loops. I finished in early December and got rejected. The experience is labeled **Apple · 10 months ago**. The candidate reported two hiring-manager screens, a joint onsite, a data-science manager, an ML-engineering manager, another behavioral round, and a final conversation with a very senior engineering leader. The candidate also reported that the process covered two EPM roles in the same Siri AI/ML organization, focused heavily on team-specific ML metrics, and ended in rejection. ## Community answers No community answers have been contributed yet.
