Great culture and leadership, but juniors need more support
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Malmö, Skåne, Sweden
September 28, 2025
Pros: Apple is full of wonderful, talented people, and the technical leadership is inspiring. The company culture is strong, with a genuine focus on diversity, inclusion, and creating a neurodivergent-friendly workplace. Work/life balance is good, which makes it a sustainable place to grow long-term.
Cons: Things can feel a bit chaotic at times, with some organizational turbulence. There’s also an overreliance on contractors, which feels like a workaround to Swedish labor protections. Junior employees, in particular, don’t always receive enough coaching or mentorship, which unfortunately leads to burnout more often than it should.
