Okay but Inflexible

Pros: Most of the people at Apple are very smart, but luckily not in an intimidating way. At least in my role, everyone has been very welcoming and willing to let me, and others, learn on the job to fill in gaps.
Cons: On the other hand, there is little flexibility.
Absolute refusal to budge on remote work policies, and even restricting remote work further since the pandemic started, is just one sign of inflexibility. It's a great company to have on your resume, and if you like the way you do things, you can rest and vest. But if you want something different, you'll have to look elsewhere.
