If you're great at what you do, you can change the world, as long as you are quiet about it
If you're great at what you do, you can change the world, as long as you are quiet about it
It's one of the few places where you have the chance to change the world of technology, and work with some of the smartest people in the world.
Anyone's pet project can wind up shipping to millions of Macs and iPhones, but you have to be great at what you do and really be passionate about it.
Secrecy is the cult tool of management. While secrecy is beneficial during development and helps make a big splash on the introduction of a product, the paranoia still runs deep after the product has shipped. The default answer to any question is "say nothing publicly," and this philosophy is driven out of fear, even for purely technical discussions.
Focus secrecy where it matters, and let people who work on non-secret projects work in the open with developers. Your employees aren't stupid and know how to not pre-announce products. Also, recent deals with phone and record companies are corrupting our soul and are antithetical to serving our customer's needs first.

Apple Interview Questions
Apple Interview Experiences
SoC Verification
The process was very thorough. I was interviewed by seven people, and the questions covered my entire resume and more. The questions were mainly based on design and verification, with very few computer architecture questions.
Hardware Engineer
I was first contacted by HR to schedule a phone technical interview. All technical questions were pretty straightforward, based on the job description. I did a bit of brush-up on a few things.
Display Engineer
HR sent me an email asking if I was interested in joining the Apple Display team. They hadn't replied for two weeks after I responded. I called the recruiter after three weeks and received a rejection.
