Pros

Nice coworkers, good coffee, location - centre of Barcelona

Cons

The attitude from the top management is horrible and cold. The company DOES NOT practice what they preach - it is all lies, the classical 'Family' until you say or ask for something the managers are not supposed to approve or do not like! They demand you to delete the communication channel post by standing behind you if they are not appropriate according to them, they try to shut you down as soon as you have said something or criticized their approach by calling you into a small office and intimidate you. They do not help with reaching targets, all the talks about how to improve KPI is basically not welcome so people whisper in corners by helping each other. They force weekly team meetings to 'build team' even though there is nothing to do there so we have to play stupid kindergarden level card games, but we are not welcome to discuss KPI or performance questions. Also there are almost no career opportunities in Spain so do not expect it! The worlds richest company did not give a penny/bonus/presents for Christmas/New Year - absolutely NOTHING!! They are so cheap and hypocritical! The management refuses to reply anything in writing - they only give instructions in words to avoid having responsibility later! They did not raise salaries for 2024 according to the inflation explaining it that ''it is already above the market''!! Just DO NOT! Apple is an stingy, oppressive and human unfriendly employer who do not care about their employees at all, at all!! My worst life experience, they-the board and mr Cook should be ashamed of themselves!

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
