      IT divisions are the same around the world

      Pros

      The massive scale challenges faced by the Apple IS&T division provide a great environment to elevate your skills. The IS&T model of using lots of low-skilled contractors can be a great way to learn how to manage teams and get things done with poor-quality tools.

      Cons

      The outsourcing model to contractors from the lowest-bidding vendors is more of a management drain than a benefit. The struggle to corral a horde of barely-competent people and get something accomplished is frustrating, and the overhead is plenty of waste.

      Great place to learn, then move on

      Pros

      - Great products and new technology to work with - Learn to leverage Apple's huge supply chain influence to get what you want quickly - Business class travel and 5-star hotels

      Cons

      - Extremely flat at the top, execs make almost all of the decisions - Promotions are very few - Poor feedback from the management team - 60-80 work week is the norm, not the exception - 2-3x per quarter in China, expected to go to every Engineering built, even if to just sit in the factory "in-case" something goes wrong - Organized chaos, everyone does their own thing to get the job done. No structure - Salary/benefits are below market average, and yearly compensation is getting worse every year I've been here

      Contractors: Second-class citizens

      Pros

      Super-sharp co-workers, prestige of the brand, nice campus and employee services, OK pay, lots of development opportunities for full-time employees.

      Cons

      I've worked as a contractor at a few Silicon Valley companies and was treated pretty much the same as staff employees. At Apple, that's not the case. They seem to make a point of differentiating between contract and FTE employees (badge only works certain hours, contractors excluded from events and small perks.) It feels petty when you can't attend team events that affect your work because you're on contract.
