Apple

Good pay. Fun projects, especially for those that are technical and can lead themselves.

It used to be pretty good, but over the last 2 years, there has been a shift in culture at Apple.

No work from home recently, which is absurd. Senior leadership is full of themselves, delusional, and out of touch with reality. No one wants to be in the office, and collaboration can be done with Webex and internet access, as the pandemic has shown.

Middle management comes in many different types and styles. Most of them agree with those complaining, but have no power to stop or change anything. A lot of turnover and reorgs. I've been through over 20 reorgs in my time at Apple.

Start listening to your people. This isn't a dictatorship; it is a democracy.

Work from home is the future. Reward your people who have been here for more than 10 years, along with paying new ones extreme salaries instead of just the latter.

Stop saying collaboration only happens in the office and that is your reason for forcing people to come in 3 days a week. Don't pick those days; let people pick.

Be flexible and praise your workforce. We are people, not machines to push around.
