Apple today overhauled its Apple jobs website, introducing a new look and a new video in an effort to better recruit employees. The updated video on the site features the different Apple logo designs that Apple first created for its Mac-centric event in October 2018.

The site displays different Apple logo designs whenever it's reloaded, and the video also features animated logo designs with a recruiting message spoken over the designs.

To the constant beginners who sing off-key against the beat. To those unfamiliar with convention, unmoved by rules, and reborn with every new discovery. Those open to daydreams and night dreams and visions and mirages. Who can see the millions of shades of green in a field of grass. Whose days are filled with mysteries that cannot be solved with facts. You are more powerful than you think... and you are welcome here.
As with before, the jobs site features sections outlining the different Apple teams, opportunities for students, Apple's philosophy, and jobs at retail locations, with an overview of all of the locations where Apple operates stores, as well as a section for creating a profile for job hunting.

Apple's new site design is up and running now and anyone who is interested in checking it out.

I believe Cook & Co may have "Discovered the Negative Side of Financial Engineering" !

Specifically, that the Worker Bees are cashing out in large numbers as the stock increased !

Normally, Product & Service Engineering drives the stock up.

At which point, the Worker Bees have (mostly) done their jobs, & the company is OK with them moving on !

With Financial Engineering, that's NOT the case !

Worker Bees get to move on BEFORE their work is done.

There was a time when I though a job at Apple would be the pinnacle of success. Not any more based on what I know today.

That's never been the case !

I grew up walking distance to Apple's original main campus.

In the Valley, it had been HP, then Cisco, then select startups.

Not so great working at Apple/Google/Amazon etc anymore.

The legal system is finally catching up to these companies on at least two fronts:

1. Antitrust: Won't be long until they're broken up by future enthusiastic governments.
2. Encryption/ government oversight like never before: i.e. "Apple, you must not use end to end encryption." and soon, in the EU, "Apple, you must use XYZ ports on your phone." This stifles creativity.

(Which pretty much explains their train-wreck OS releases)
 
In a (first) world where people are beginning to see that they don't need to endlessly conform to systems that destroy creativity, individuality, and happiness, that humans are meant to do things that feel naturally fulfilling to them, this is great marketing. I'd love to work at Apple.
 
"To those unfamiliar with convention, unmoved by rules, ....."

Pretty rich coming from a company headed by a CEO who has, so far, kowtowed to the Chinese and to the FBI.

Come on. It doesn't say "to those who operate illegally, who break laws in multiple countries around the world"

You expect Apple to not follow the laws of the countries they operate in?

Right because Apple has ALWAYS been perfect, and only recently started going down hill... All the way down hill to becoming the world's most valuable company.
Haha. The efforts to replace System 7 with a modern OS, including the Copland project, was one of the biggest software gong shows in the history of computing.
 
"To the constant beginners who sing off-key against the beat. To those unfamiliar with convention, unmoved by rules, ..."
...and in the very next article...
"Mr. Blevins called a top Japan Display executive and accused him of violating Apple's nondisclosure agreement. "Are you stupid?" he said, according to a person familiar with the call."
 
What’s with all the bold lettering everywhere. It’s kind of jarring.
 
Just a theory... Didn't Tim Cook state last year that he thinks developers should not need to go to college... sounds like he's looking for minimum wage workers to maximize profit (keeps the company as the most valued company).

Spot on. Amazing so many people believe Apple is not required to operate within the laws and constraints of the countries they have operations and sales in.
 
All the employees who made Apple "insanely great" are long gone. Today they are no different than MS with respect to the pool of potential hires they mine (hello India). And yea, it does feel like a sinking ship when you get a surge of employees leaving right as the stock is peaking. What do they know? Oh to be a fly on the wall above the water cooler. Scratch that, a fly on the wall at the Starbucks bar in their new "UFO" building.

With respect to MS, they’re firing on all cylinders right now. They’re doing great work.
