Working at Apple may not always be easy, but if you're an engineer or a developer, you can count on learning something new on the job. Apple taught me how to think about code, a former employee says. It's hard to describe my thought processes before because Apple drilled in a way of thinking through problems that I can't go back from. I learned to iterate while ensuring that I think about every little detail of that iteration beforehand.
There's even an Apple University training center on campus to teach employees about Apple's ideals and design history.

One former Apple employee wrote that creating innovative products and taking part in developing new product categories were among the most rewarding things about the job.
This is a great opportunity to work with some really fantastic, dedicated people, who genuinely want to use technology to make the world a better place, another anonymous current employee wrote.
