Great brand, but the culture can feel closed off
Great brand, but the culture can feel closed off
Working at Apple gave me the opportunity to be part of a globally recognized and respected brand. The strong brand reputation opened many doors when working with clients and partners, and I was proud to represent a company known for innovation and quality.
While Apple is an incredible brand, I found the organizational culture to be quite closed and siloed. Information sharing between teams was sometimes limited, and decision-making could be centralized, which made it difficult to move quickly or collaborate freely across functions.

The interviewers were very professional. The final interview was very difficult. The difficulty level was vastly different; I mean, the depth of the Grand Canyon. If you are a shortlisted candidate, the process is quick.

A recruiter reached out to me and asked me to schedule a call. She never showed up and didn't reply to my follow-up emails. I took the initiative to apply myself to the role and never heard back from them.
