As of 2022, Apple had $394.3 billion in revenue, 52% of it from iPhone sales. Apple’s number of employees at its world headquarters at 1 Infinite Loop in Cupertino, California, is more than 12,000. But the number of Apple employees worldwide is over 164,000<\/a>, including at company offices in Cork, Ireland and San Diego, as well as from home offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The founders, Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs, and Ronald Wayne (who sold his share back to Wozniak and Jobs for $800 after 12 days), banded together to develop and sell the Apple I PC Wozniak designed and built. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Apple Computer, Inc. was incorporated on January 3, 1977, and had moved on to the Apple II by then. It was a smash hit and one of the first mass-produced microcomputers. After the Apple II came the Macintosh. Initially, sales were good but fell due to the machine\u2019s high price and slow performance. By 1985, Wozniak stepped back from the company (though he remained employed by Apple), and Jobs resigned, founding NeXt with several former Apple employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t Step into the shoes of a software engineer in this free course from Electronic Arts.

In 1997, weeks away from bankruptcy<\/a>, Apple bought NeXT<\/a> partly to entice Jobs back to Apple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The company experienced a renaissance starting in 1988 with the introduction of the iMac. It sold 800,000 units and was an early adopter of USB connections and preinstalled internet connectivity (the \u201ci\u201d in the product name).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The year 2001 marked a turning point for Apple. Among other things, the first two Apple stores opened, and the company introduced the iPod<\/a>. After that came iTunes, the iPhone (selling 270,000 units in the first 30 hours of sale), iPads \u2026 and the rest is history!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before exploring student and new graduate opportunities available at Apple, you should be aware that to apply for any<\/em> role at Apple, you need an Apple ID! If you don\u2019t already have one, you can create it before applying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For college students interested in working at Apple, there are two opportunities<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first is the internship<\/a> program. Open to undergraduate and graduate students, you can find available Apple internships on the Apple careers page<\/a> by selecting \u201cStudents\u201d and \u201cInternships\u201d under the \u201cTeams\u201d filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Apple internships can be on any team, from natural language processing and machine learning<\/a> (the people who work on Siri) to supply chain<\/a> management or business and marketing<\/a>. Qualifications vary by role and location, and you can apply for a summer internship or academic year co-op.<\/p>\n\n\n\n >>MORE:<\/strong> Ultimate Guide to Internship Application Deadlines<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The other opportunity is an Apple Support College Advisor<\/a>. Working remotely<\/a> from where you live, you\u2019ll be part of the customer support team that helps users navigate issues with their products. This paid position lasts for one year, and because you\u2019re working at Apple, you receive benefits. Apple Support College Advisor positions are open to all majors, include nine weeks of training, and allow you to work around your class schedule. However, you must be enrolled in at least one college class and maintain a 2.7 GPA or higher for the duration of your employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to the internship and college support advisor roles, college students can work at an Apple store in expert, creative, business, genius, and operations roles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On Glassdoor<\/a>, Apple interns report having a generally positive experience. The Apple internship program has an overall rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars with 98% of interns saying they would recommend the program to a friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t Level-up your customer service skills in this free course from Bloomberg.

Forty-four percent said it was \u201csomewhat difficult,\u201d 21% said it was \u201cvery difficult,\u201d and 7% said it was \u201cdifficult.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Outside of retail roles, Apple\u2019s corporate jobs are divided among several teams it calls \u201ccorporate functions.\u201d Those teams are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n No matter what kind of job you\u2019re looking for, you can find it by searching on the jobs page<\/a>. Per Apple\u2019s website, most corporate roles require English language skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Below are some job titles you will find at Apple, along with Glassdoor\u2019s estimated salary range for people with zero to one year of experience in the role:<\/p>\n\n\n\n One area Apple is relatively transparent about is its employee benefits<\/a>. Many of the benefits of working at Apple include the standard ones you might expect, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, some unique Apple employee benefits are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n >>MORE:<\/strong> What Are Fringe Benefits?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n According to employee reviews on Comparably<\/a>, the amount of paid time off Apple employees receive depends on how long they\u2019ve worked there. Of those reporting to be with the company for less than one year, 38% say they have 15 to 20 days of paid time off each year. That includes vacation and sick time. However, 50% of employees who say they\u2019ve been with Apple for more than 10 years report having between 20 and 30 paid days off each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, 21% of people who reviewed Apple on Comparably report that their boss expects them to work while they\u2019re on vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you were to sum up Apple\u2019s culture in one word, \u201csecrecy\u201d might be near the top of the list. Apple is notoriously silent on what it\u2019s like on the inside, and it may even feel like Apple employees must take a vow of secrecy to work there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n >>MORE:<\/strong> What Is Company Culture (and Why Does It Matter)?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, \u201cconfidentiality\u201d is one of the core ideas of Apple\u2019s Business Conduct Policy<\/a>, which outlines Apple\u2019s ethical requirements for all employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But while Apple remains tight-lipped about some things (like the newest features on the next iPhone), the company does share some information about its culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Apple\u2019s ConnectEd<\/a> initiative is their pledge to provide over $100 million of teaching and learning solutions to 114 underserved schools in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As part of the initiative, Apple has donated an iPad to all students, a Mac and iPad to every teacher, and an Apple TV for every classroom. The company also provides technical and professional support to these schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From the mining to the manufacturing to the shipping, building Apple\u2019s hardware is not easy on the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To help combat those negative effects, Apple is committed to making long-term changes<\/a>. The company has been carbon neutral since 2020, and by 2030, so will all of its products. As an example, Apple uses upcycled water bottles as antenna lines in the iPhone and old products can be disassembled and recycled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The company\u2019s 2022 Environmental Progress Report<\/a> gives further details. As of March 2022, 213 of the company\u2019s suppliers had committed to using renewable energy for Apple product production. In fiscal year 2021, plastics were only part of 4% of all Apple packaging, bringing Apple that much closer to the goal of zero plastic in packaging by 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Apple believes that a diverse culture<\/a> is a strong and innovative one. To that end, Apple has made efforts to increase the number of minority staff and leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Between 2014 and 2021, Apple increased its number of female employees worldwide by 89% and Black employees in the U.S. by 71%. The company also increased the number of Hispanic\/Latinx employees in the U.S. by 104% and the number of underrepresented minorities in general by 74%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During that same time, the number of female leaders increased by 87%, Black leaders by 84%, Hispanic\/Latinx leaders by 90%, and underrepresented minorities by 80%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To help combat racial inequality, Apple has the Racial Equity and Justice Initiative<\/a> (REJI) to expand opportunities for communities of color. The initiative targets three areas: education, criminal justice, and economic empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As an example, Apple has founded the Apple Developer Academy<\/a>. Partnering with Michigan State University, anyone 18 or older can participate in this nine-month-long program in Detroit. During that time, they will work 20 hours a week to enhance their coding, design, and entrepreneurial skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n >>MORE:<\/strong> Best Coding Bootcamps Online for 2023<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Apple is taking steps to safeguard workers who create the products<\/a>. In the 2021 fiscal year<\/a>, Apple committed $50 million to workers\u2019 rights training and education. The company also monitored 1.5 million worker hours to ensure the supplier met Apple\u2019s standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/theforage.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Depositphotos_472402170_XL-150x100.jpg\")
