Pros
- Apple has many of the great amenities, salaries, and benefits that you get from many silicon valley companies. - Apple is so big that your experience here will greatly vary depending on the team that you are joining. If you stick with it and work hard, things will probably work out for you. You will need to put in the time though. For me this meant working over weekends, early days, and late nights sometimes. - Through difficult meetings with senior management, I learned how to think and ask the right questions, which is the most valuable thing I took away from this role.
Cons
- Pride among senior managers and staff was not uncommon. Sometimes, not often, decisions were made based off of who was presenting the data, and not based off of what the data was actually saying. - I've witnessed people forced out of roles because some said "they didn't get it". Which really meant some people didn't think they weren't smart enough. - Remote work is not possible for many roles. - With the time I had to invest, it was difficult to work here at times, but I still deeply miss working here like most others that choose leave do.
