Apple

Lots of benefits.

Mostly nice people working there.

Ancient technology stack that will leave your technical skills in atrophy.

Lack of uniform direction or leadership in the company; the amount of pivoting makes it difficult to accomplish anything long-term.

Huge expectation differences between SREs and developers with regard to best practices.

Complete lack of remote work flexibility. All employees must be in overcrowded offices most days of the week, leading to:

• Lack of parking
• Long lines for bathrooms and cafeteria
• No conference room availability
• Cramped workspaces

Focus more on driving migrations to new technology stacks instead of keeping things running as they are, in favor of continued feature development.

Allow employees the flexibility to work remote versus cramming them into overcrowded spaces like cattle.
