Pros

Because the pros are posted high and above... First - look at the dates of the last reviews. All around the same dates = They were brigades. I have proof. Very questionable. Looks good on a resume in certain cities. Free food if you're in San Francisco, Portland Oregon or Dublin Ire.

Cons

Talent (HR) department cannot seem to get their stories straight. Ever. Include inflexible in every circumstance. Founders are disconnected and then...

Pros

Good perks, medical benefits, meal program.

Cons

Extremely inexperienced management and leadership. Some teams work at a highly dysfunctional level and very inefficiently. Hardly any career path or growth opportunities. Management/leadership are highly averse to employees speaking up about any issues or inefficiencies (at least on certain teams), so you're better off staying quiet and keeping your head down or you will face negative repercussions. Tons of nepotism. A bit cult-like. Consistently fast paced, tons of competing and changing priorities, tough work/life balance. If you're looking for career growth, recognition for strong contribution, work/life balance and to be treated on an equal level regardless of your gender, this is not your place.

Pros

- Food - Some of the people - Benefits - Travel options - Exciting business concepts - Trying to change how people interact when they travel

Cons

- I am very let down with my experience, I went through 6 interviews and left Apple to work here. I was really looking forward to being a part of something I believed in. I'll admit I was struggling, but I thought I would be given the benefit to improve my self.... Nope..... - Management is under a lot of stress to produce results, this creates an environment where employees are constantly under scrutiny and numbers results. - Lost my job over a bureaucratic mis-understanding, no discussion just let go. - Worked to try and bring a culture of open communication. I don't work there any more.
