Does Apple actually contact references during the interview process?

I’m getting frustrated because of this job hunting. Is there anyone feeling like this?
I just received a job offer that is a massive step up in title and salary, but the online reviews for the team’s culture are absolutely terrifying. Half the Glassdoor reviews mention high turnover and a toxic leadership style, while the interviewers themselves seemed incredibly stressed out during our calls. The extra $30k a year would change my financial life. Would you take a risk on a known toxic environment?
I just got my first performance review, and the feedback was literally "you're doing great, keep doing what you're doing," with a 2% raise. Inflation in my city is sitting at 4%, so my reward is effectively a pay cut for a year of hard work. Is this normal? Is the only thing to do jump companies?
💭 If you were let go from your job tomorrow, what's the first thing you'd do?
It feels almost impossible to get into tech nowadays. No companies want to hire new grads since they all have AI that can basically operate at the same level. Its super super discouraging as someone who just graduated with only 1 internship experience, I feel like I wasted my time getting this degree. Does anyone have any advice?
Sometimes they do, but they can only ask certain set of questions
