Pros

Good perks like healthcare for being in Ireland, the job itself is easy enough

Cons

I feel like a number. Nothing more. All of us have been working from home and instead of valuing that financially, we get a free box of nuts and potato crisps now and then. The employee support is useless. I haven’t the slightest clue why there are ways to contact them if nothing ever happens. Apple claims to be a tolerant and open minded company and - while App Review is absolutely the one place we can say that feels like a fun place to work, I’ve collected many stories from colleagues about previous experiences. There is bullying in Apple. There is just no one in Apple to help you when it happens to you. One of my ex-colleagues was bullied by her manager who then made sure that when for organisational reasons the entire team went to someone else, she wouldn’t get a new manager. That colleague reported this several times and only after she left the company, they made sure to ask to not look like a bad employer. I myself have reported abuse and nothing happened. I entered Apple with high hopes and job-wise I am good. But on a human level Apple is an enabler for abusive behaviour.

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
