      Great Company and Benefits, Challenges at a Satellite Office

      Pros

      Great financial picture, benefits, and other resources. Very rewarding if you believe in the products.

      Cons

      The Austin site exists in distinct vertical silos and it is impossible to jump from one to another. If you are unable to find a satisfactory career path within your own organization, you will eventually have to leave the company. Some groups have significant management assistance and advocacy for individual contributor career growth, but others do not. If you are in the latter, you are in a pigeon hole.

      Pros

      Apple has a great atmosphere, some really, really talented people and great culture. They also do some really cool products where it feels great to be part of the process. There is a great collective feeling of everyone striving for the same goal and very little internal competition. Other companies may have bigger salaries, but it's hard to beat them on benefits. If you get into the RSU vesting schedule for a few years, you are certain to think twice before leaving and watching your unvested stocks go up in smoke. Work/life balance can vary, but it's very much up to the employee. However, when I had a death in the family, there was 100% support from my management and I never had to worry about deliverables or taking too much time off. It really felt like they were more concerned about me than my job. Experiences like that makes for loyal employees.

      Cons

      With intense growth there will be hiring and promotional decisions where compromises are made because there simply isn't enough people available. In the balance of quality (which stops shipping) and shipping (which can compromise quality) the company in recent years have slipped more to the shipping side, while under SJ it was securely on the quality side. Something to watch out for.

      Pros

      The benefits are good, work from home, prestigious company.

      Cons

      I have worked for over 2 years and it is almost impossible to move up. For a company that was built on individual thinking, you don't get to do that here. The stress and pressure never let up and you are constantly being criticized. It is the worse job I have had on the past 15 years for sure. If I didn't have to work from home, I would have quit already.
