      Political, stagnant environment. Innovation is not welcomed.

      Pros

      Being part of big Apple

      Cons

      Old tools and processes, Work-Lifr Balance is very poor. Consultants, QA and Site Ops are blamed for everything that goes wrong with product. Upper management does not understand modern approaches (Scrum/Agile, Continues Integration, Continues Deployment, etc). People get yelled when production issues are found and blames usually flows downhill until the next scape goat is found and dealt with. There is no learning from previous mistakes, so the cycle will repeat itself again and again. If you really know your job and willing to share how to improve things - do not join Apple. You expirience is not welcomed there and your proposals will not be heard or implemented. Apple expects everyone to comply and mold. Many people there work for years and completely missed modern advance in technology and processes.

      Awesome Company, Crappy Managers

      Pros

      The training is amazing. Outstanding people work in the team over all. The way that team work is exemplified really raised the bar on my expectations in other retail/sales based positions. I loved my time with customers and my time in the company... in the areas of team relationships and customer relations.

      Cons

      Managers behaving like children. A senior manager being hired with a prior felony check fraud conviction with time served. Managers having favorites and utilizing bad politics to promote team members. Extreme lack of concern for overall well-being of team.

      Proud to work here

      Pros

      You may get to work on the number one feature, on the number one product, from the number one company in the world. Processes in place for risk management are excellent. Everyone shares a common goal to make the best products for the consumer, and it shows in most every conversation you have. Plenty of smart people to learn from. All your friends and family know about your company and the products you helped create.

      Cons

      - Some of the higher-ups are just Apple dinosaurs who have been promoted over time for what appears to be loyalty and relationships alone. Quite a few don't have the capability to understand what they are managing and regularly make poor decisions. Engineering is the only profession I know of where this disconnect can be so vast... ever heard of a chief of staff at a hospital who wasn't a physician? - Managers can manage with an iron fist due to the legacy of Steve Jobs and for some, he the only management role model they have. Works if you are him and CEO, not so much if you're director level. Lately this is being improved upon with frequent re-orgs. - People keep saying how everyone is an "A" player, but this isn't really true. Have worked with smarter people elsewhere. - No opportunity to publicly discuss your work, or get involved with academic research - Secrecy can get in the way
