An amazing place to thrive
iOS Engineer • Current Employee
London, England, United Kingdom

Pros: Apple is a place which fosters innovation, excellence, and teases out the very best of what you can do. I was regularly inspired by the work, and also the people, who helped enable me to do my best work.
The amenities and mentorship were stellar; access to quality work was abundant.
Cons: Apple's engineering contracts can be restrictive about work done outside of the company in your own time. This can hurt individuals who want to pursue side hustles or side projects.
