Apple reviews

Management is terrible, they only care about themselves, every week something new comes up that they are trying to sell us on. The flavor of the week management style is VERY much the way of life. Customers are self entitled and they speak to you any way they want and get away with it. Team is great if you want to get drunk or get high as that is what the majority of team members do to cope with managers and customers.

-Experiences vary (depends on department, team, role, manager, location) -TONS of red-tape (see reviews written by engineers at HQ using agile) -Over-zealous job requisitions, sometimes seeking experience that half the employees do not possess -Promotions often come from favoritism/nepotism and not performance -Current organizational structure breeds an environment of paranoia and secrecy -Contractors and vendors treated poorly (they aren't considered human beings) -Certain managers care more about their own stock portfolios than Apple's *This leads to being forced to use external tools that are far below the threshold of industry standards -"Drinking the Kool-aid" means adhering to secret rules -General lack of freedom -Compensation below industry standards (even with a degree or two) -Local community involvement is nonexistent *Samsung, AMD, Google, and other major industry names market/sponsor events in local markets where campuses are located
