Working at Apple is very unique. Not only is the portfolio they are looking for very unique, the cultural fit is also very specific. From what I understand, a lot of the ID team there, which is very small, knew each other before they worked at Apple. There are other 3d modeling and prototyping jobs that are related, but the core ID team is as tight as their design language.
I’m curious when they will flip both on their ears. Remember they were at the forefront of shepherding in neb-minimalism, but before that their language was very very different. When every one caught up, they changed directions. I’m feeling like could flip again in the next few years. Or maybe that is just the designer in me wishing for maximum change. That would be a fun time to be on that team.
