Apple

• The base salary is aligned with the rest of the local semiconductor industry. A big plus is the shares, even if there is a big difference in the share allocation between departments, and AMS has the worst share budget.
• Discounts on Apple products.

• Toxic environment: if you don’t work at least 60 hours per week they make you feel like a loser (when a project is about to end the workload might easily go up to 80 hours per week or more).
• No work-life balance, you are only allowed to work-work-work.
• Unrealistic project timelines.
• You are "recommended" to work also on weekends when deadlines approach.
• Despite the high share bonuses, the net salary-per-worked-hour is much less compared to the semiconductor companies in the region.
• Performing great is a disadvantage: the better you perform, the more workload you get.

I don't think management is up to hear any advice. They are too focused on achieving their own targets and get as many shares as they can.
