Apple reviews

NO OVERTIME, and long hours. it is true that we don't get payed overtime and that is why I left. I worked there after high school and had an awesome time working there but i didn't make much money (well, it's not very high in the company, so i can see why it wouldn't pay much but 19k is not enough!) I also had to work for extremely long shifts, one time i worked 12 hours straight! and when i went on vacation it wasn't paid and i was on call which was stupid.

- Decisions are made by C-level executives. If you come to Apple, don't expect to be able to make the types of decisions, no matter how small, you made at other companies. Additional downsides to this are the amount of time that it takes to be able to get decisions made, then act on them. Jobs are generally more focused on execution so depending on the type of environment you come from, you may not feel that you are having any impact. Great jobs for people right out of school or those intending to stop at Apple for just a year or two to get the company on their resume. - Opportunity for advancement is minimal. If you are looking to be promoted, you will probably need to leave the company and then return later. Same goes for salary increases. - Outside of product development, people don't feel the need for change (there are lots of individuals who have been at the company 10-15 years+). People are very content with processes as they are. Get used to hearing "well, this is the way we have always done it..." No sense of urgency.
