Pros

Just the money, which is also not worth it, as they’ll make you slog for 17-18 hours a day.

Cons

Toxic! Period!

I worked for Apple in 2023 and had a terrible experience with their culture. Tried rebounding back in 2024, and it turns out it’s not team-specific. Apple as such gets worse and worse in terms of toxicity. Of course, that is not on their radar at all for improvement.

I was interviewed for a role where I asked how the work-life balance would be, and the interviewer jumped to ask, “Why? Do you have a problem working late nights?”

Interviews are brutal, not in terms of the quality of questions, but just the way they make you feel—hurtful and disrespectful!

Not a place for anybody who has self-respect!

Advice to Management

You don’t work on rocket science. Anybody can acquire skills. Focus more on hiring people with good attitudes, not just people who will say, “Yes boss.”
