Pros

The food at the multiple distributed cafeterias and coffee bars is awesome.

Who could imagine, two to three choices of fish every day!

A few open atrium casual talking and work areas are quite nice as well.

Cons

Virtually no social interaction with Apple employees.

Total exclusion from the physical work areas of employees.

Absolutely no effort on the part of management and employees to make you feel like you are a part of a team effort.

Almost no opportunities to feed suggestions upward or back to employees.

Locked in a room with other contractors who have nothing in common with your work.

Advice to Management

Counsel your employees to behave like normal human beings when interacting with contractors.
