- 2.0Not a great cultureData Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Diego, California, United StatesOctober 12, 2022Pros: There's a team for everything, so there's no need to run any system yourself. They'll send you all around the world in first class. Apple Park is stunning. Everyone is smart.Cons: People are not nice. They often want to work alone rather than collaborate. Honestly, the pay isn't as high as you'd think, and the benefits aren't great. They don't sponsor you to go to conferences, at least in my organization. It's hard to move between orgs because it's so secretive. Overall, I wouldn't recommend an engineer work here.
