Pros

The people you work with and the benefits.

Cons

Management is big on favoritism. If they don’t like you, you’ll never move up. They promote based on if you fall in line with what they say and if you brown nose well enough. They don’t care if you’re a great performer. You gotta “play the game”! No work life balance. You can end up working 9 days in a row if you try to take a weekend off.

Pros

Decent pay. Company name looks good on a resume *outside* of Silicon Valley.

Cons

It doesn't matter how efficient you are--if you work for AppleCare (or other departments, probably), you will be unofficially on-call literally 24/7/365 for constant fire drills (fake emergencies). If you don't answer a phone call at 2 a.m. during a supposedly slow period or bring your computer with you on vacation, you could lose your job. Upper-level managers have zero tech background and no clue what anyone below them does. You'll get further by smiling than by working hard. So many people are burned out that fully half of the people on our 80-person team are applying for jobs outside of Apple, yet there are never any repercussions for management when anyone manages to escape. Super racist environment, too. Most Latinx employees work as custodians or in the kitchen, and Black employees are nearly nonexistent. People keep mentioning health benefits as perks, but what good are benefits and time off if you're not allowed to use any of them?

Pros

Great flexibility and benefits. The Wellness Center is on campus and easy to get an appointment for most of the services.

Cons

Not a lot of support from leadership, so feel like you're constantly being run over by everyone you work with. Not a lot of career growth unless you want to grow laterally.
