Regular employees are hiring Asian females as regular employees, and hiring Asian males as contractors
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Cupertino, California, United States
September 18, 2014
Pros: Apple tends to do quality work, at least from Steve Jobs's traditions.
Cons: Regular employees are hiring Asian females as regular employees and hiring Asian males as contractors to do heavy-duty work. There are Asian females hired as contractors too, but the Asian females hired as regular employees tend to be prettier or friendlier with the managers, and that can make you wonder what the reason is.
Look at HealthKit apps that came with iOS 8. The apps are pulled from the app store because HealthKit is said to be DOA (Dead on Arrival) and has a bug. A fix will be expected by the end of the month. You wonder why Apple's quality is deteriorating.
