Apple

Apple is an outstanding company to work for, as they truly want their employees to be happy and thrive. In my 5 years with Apple, I was able to learn new things while still working hard to complete internal projects. I was able to travel and felt that I was well supported by product managers, product leads, and my individual team members.

The company demands a lot from its employees but rewards them by providing a great work-life balance.

The company demands a lot of time from its employees, and it's a large company. It is very easy to go unnoticed for your contributions, especially as a new or lower-level employee.

Teams can be large and somewhat overwhelming for newer employees. It is also very difficult to move up "the ladder" as competition for jobs is incredibly strong.

Take more time to focus and develop employees that have been with the company for long periods of time. Take time to see where their skills can be best utilized.
