RIYADH: Apple is offering its outstanding talent attractive bonuses to prevent them from defecting to Facebook owner Meta Platforms. This latest move by Apple follows Meta successfully poaching around 100 Apple engineers, Bloomberg reported. The iPhone maker has offered rare incentives of $50,000 to $180,000 to a number of distinguished engineers in silicon, hardware design, selection of software packages and processes. Apple is facing great challenges with a number of companies in Silicon Valley and beyond, as companies seek to attract and entice distinguished engineers to join it, competing with Meta, according to Bloomberg.
