Pros
- work with smart, driven people - data-focused environment holds people and teams accountable - perks like doctors onsite, gyms, subsidized cafeterias, free bus transportation and concerts - relationship based, the more you have, the more successful you will be
Cons
- when you get to a high level at Apple, it's free reign - no one closely watching how rank and file are being managed - lack of professionalism with HR, if you disclose anything they are likely to tell your manager and/or do nothing, based on my experience - management always driving staff to do more but not always clear where or why - silos make organization hard to navigate; it takes at least a year to successfully onboard an employee
