I actually had quite the opposite experience, Apple absolutely grilled me at the spot for its interview, even though I did pass it, but I didn't take their offer.

They definitely grilled me... It's just that they actually had humans talk to me and answer questions, not just throw a website with an automated judge and intentionally confusing problems. (My first language isn't English)

Facebook was very robotic in their process, with a lot of demands for preparation. Google and Amazon aren't that far off.

I think Google and Facebook does that for some interns.
