Making it through Apple’s extended and extensive interview process doesn’t mean you’re ready for the real work behind the company’s popular gadgets. Adam Lashinsky’s book Inside Apple relates that new Apple employees are sometimes put on fake projects. This trial run apparently lasts until the new hires prove themselves trustworthy – and capable of maintaining Apple’s code of secrecy.
The statement about employees being tested on fake projects to prevent information leaks was confirmed by a man claiming to be a former Apple engineer. Whether or not the fake project test is a reality for Apple hires, it only proves what we already know, as stated by Time Techland’s Keith Wagstaff: “You shouldn’t always trust Apple rumors, even if they come from somebody at Apple.”
