Everything People Tell You Is True
Silicon Validation Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: Brilliant coworkers,
meaningful work,
decent culture,
brilliant management. Everyone is technical and knows their stuff.
The HQ is easily the most beautiful/meaningful place I've ever been, more than FB/Google's HQs. You feel special coming into work.
Cons: No free food or gym; nowhere near the same level of perks as Google.
Sometimes dysfunctional. Apple discourages documentation and doesn't have any strict internal coding standards or other structure. It's up to each team to decide what they need. IMO, it leads to lots of reinventing the wheel and "ohhh so that's why version control is good!"
4.0
High pace, high pressure, highly motivated. Overall very well satisfied

Cons: Too much secrecy; dog-eat-dog; poor life balance.
3.0
Overall, a good company, but your experience depends on your team

Pros: Stable, no large-scale layoffs. Apple product discounts. Okay benefits. Good work-life balance.
Cons: Pay isn't competitive if you stay in the company for a long time. My team has poor diversity, dominated by a group of people from a certain country. It's hard to get promoted. Good opportunities are always theirs. There's a politics game to push you out.
