Nice place, nice people, shaky work-life balance
Nice place, nice people, shaky work-life balance
Very nice facilities and great people. Everyone seems willing to share their stories at Apple, and it feels welcoming.
Secrecy is so tight you won't be able to talk to anyone about work.
The "silly" disclosure system makes it extremely difficult and slow to get things done.
There's a constant demo mentality prompting people to always have something working and ready to demonstrate. This also causes panic work that drives down the work-life balance.
It takes longer than one week to get a feature working.
Collect demo materials for a show & tell rather than insisting on constant live technical demos.

Recruiter sent an email via LinkedIn. I interviewed with Apple. I was asked LeetCode questions, system design, and behavioral questions. No offer. The process was very smooth, but I didn't receive an offer without any reason.
