Don't be a contract employee at Apple
Don't be a contract employee at Apple
I took this job because it's Apple, of course.
Be ready to be treated as a "second-class citizen", not even being included in the rare "happy hours" and asking for permission for every piece of information that is required to do your job. No work-life balance – only work.
Contract employees are just as any other employee, just compensated worse. Be kind.
