Pros
  • Smart co-workers
  • Always something new.
  • Benefits rock.
  • It's Apple: Smart, savvy, passionate people who care about their products.
  • Stock grants.
Cons
  • Sadly, not a lot of salary growth past hiring.

  • They prefer stock grants to raises beyond inflation adjustment.

  • Large, organic organization.

  • Things have improved, but there are lots of silos to protect from leaks.

  • Sometimes that means the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

  • The people at the top do, but you're a bit of a mushroom.

  • Ever-growing middle management.

  • More departmental politics than there used to be.

Advice to Management

Don't let middle management shield you from what's actually going on in the company.
