The product, the people, the prestige, and the stock options. Not necessarily in that order.
Apple is a very rewarding place to work, in both career and financial terms.
In some groups, work-life balance is non-existent. Working weekends for months on end is considered part of the job. The attitude is, if you don't like your job, there are plenty out there who would take it.
However, that isn't quite true because we've been having trouble getting quality interviewees for a while now.
People who are "before iPod" are there because they want to work for Apple.
People who are "after iPod" are often there because they want to work for AAPL.
Burn the Apple people out, and you can never get them back.
Would the company be as successful if it were run by AAPL people?
The interview process was fairly standard, consisting of one full day of interviews, plus lunch with a team member. I met with most of the team members, as well as the manager and director. The questions spanned across both experience and technical
Technical screening followed by an onsite interview on campus with team members. They had already made the decision on the offer before they interviewed me. I had a very bad experience and wasted my time.
Honestly, pretty damn easy, lol. I'm going to try Google next. This was genuinely so simple, I'm amazed a FAANG company would do this. Just practice 300 LeetCode questions and you'll be set!
