Pros

The benefits are great and the brand value it adds to the resume is fantastic.

Cons

I worked in the Pac Ops L&D department for a significant period, but unfortunately, my experience was very bad. The SG PAC Operations team is plagued by poor leadership and mismanagement. There were no real growth opportunities, and my manager, she was relentless and highly controlling, often micromanaging and focusing on trivial matters. Even something as simple as a newsletter required five conference calls, only for her to take over and complete it herself in the end. It left me feeling like my efforts and time were constantly devalued. The work environment is also highly political, it's like they are at war with Apple CA and Apple Europe, constantly trying to not work as a team. If you are in the “right” team, you may have a good experience, but if not, it becomes extremely difficult and very demotivating. HR is almost non existant it provides no meaningful support, as they tend to side only with managers. Several employees, including myself, left because of our manager’s behavior, but no one took any action or even acknowledged the issues.

Pros

salary, work environment and benefits

Cons

Micromanagement The targets set are often unrealistic, making it difficult to achieve success and maintain morale and once you hit the target, they will set another unrealistic target. The support area is too broad, spreading resources and attention thin. Employees are often expected to handle tasks outside their job description, leading to confusion and burnout.

Pros

Nice coworkers, good coffee, location - centre of Barcelona

Cons

The attitude from the top management is horrible and cold. The company DOES NOT practice what they preach - it is all lies, the classical 'Family' until you say or ask for something the managers are not supposed to approve or do not like! They demand you to delete the communication channel post by standing behind you if they are not appropriate according to them, they try to shut you down as soon as you have said something or criticized their approach by calling you into a small office and intimidate you. They do not help with reaching targets, all the talks about how to improve KPI is basically not welcome so people whisper in corners by helping each other. They force weekly team meetings to 'build team' even though there is nothing to do there so we have to play stupid kindergarden level card games, but we are not welcome to discuss KPI or performance questions. Also there are almost no career opportunities in Spain so do not expect it! The worlds richest company did not give a penny/bonus/presents for Christmas/New Year - absolutely NOTHING!! They are so cheap and hypocritical! The management refuses to reply anything in writing - they only give instructions in words to avoid having responsibility later! They did not raise salaries for 2024 according to the inflation explaining it that ''it is already above the market''!! Just DO NOT! Apple is an stingy, oppressive and human unfriendly employer who do not care about their employees at all, at all!! My worst life experience, they-the board and mr Cook should be ashamed of themselves!
