Apple Engineering Program Manager Interview

A hiring manager at Apple recently contacted me for a position as Engineering Program Manager in his team. It went well and now I have another round. Product: Apple Maps Tools: Hadoop/Big Data I clearly that I have no work experience in Hadoop/Big Data. He said he is willing to spend time in investing in training for the right candidate. I however told that I have read designing data intensive applications, Grokking the System Design interview etc. What’s the interview process for this position? Please let me know if any material/recommendations to prepare. TC: $140K

I have been rejected at Google/FB/Amazon. This so not much options left. Ideally I would like to go for iPhone/Mac. Why should I not come? How is the work life balance? Risk of layoffs?

@brittany$ - how did the interview go? Did you make it to onsite? I have an interview coming up with this team and wanted to check with you. Please DM me if you want it in private.

I have an Apple EPM phone interview (first round) coming up. What questions should I expect in the 30 minute call with the hiring manager?

And also, I don't have an iPhone or I personally don't use any apple products. Is that a disqualifier? Would it come up during the interview?
