Senior AI PM Interview Experience

I went through the full Apple process for a Senior AIPM role and it was pretty straightforward structurally, but very team-specific in content. I had a recruiter call, a conversational hiring manager round, two screens that got into product sense and AI depth, and then an onsite about a month later with four actual interviews because one of the five scheduled rounds got canceled. The product cases were not brutally technical, but Apple clearly cared about usability, privacy, and whether I could shape answers around their way of building products. The one engineering-heavy round was much deeper on data, evals, architecture, and production tradeoffs than I expected from a PM loop. I did not get an offer, and the ending was weird because I got ghosted for a bit and my recruiter had apparently left the company.
