Fun, but serious
Hardware Engineer • Current Employee
Cupertino, California, United States
February 12, 2014
Pros: Compensation is great, beer bashes are fun, and the work is cutting-edge and very cool. The attention to detail is incredible, and the quality of the engineering that occurs in the labs is the best you'll find in the world.
Cons: The company is distant, not much of a 'startup' mentality, as much as they'd like to be. The higher-ups seem to treat employees as a bit more disposable than they should. Also, HR is filled with bureaucracy.
