Apple reviews

Reviews are accurate, all of the bad ones at least. They use a lot of OFFSHORE contractors, and high percentage are not good, same for the managers, they used to be not so good contractors and are managers now. Is not usually bad to use contractors due to the flexibility of scale up and down on people, but when you have 5 employees and 15 contractors and they just come and go, you don't really have that flexibility, it's the same 15 positions but filled but people that are taken to extreme burn out and writing code and creating designs worst than recent grads. Engineer quality is the worst I've ever seen in my life overall with 18 YOE. Are there good folks there? Yes, absolutely, but when you have 5 employees and 15 contractors and 50% suck and are OFFSHORE in India on a completely different timezone you are in for a mess and a career hara-kiri. Unless you are making much less than the current TC offered, I would advise against it. It doesn't matter the team, trust me on that, I have experienced and interacted with several teams, it's all the same. If TC is significantly higher take it, and leave soon to similar paying company. I'm looking for my way out. All the contractors are from Tata Consulting and Infosys, those guys are suffering and being exploited. 100% of the people I've interacted with are Indians, diversity is 0%, it's incredible, you feel like you are in India yourself, never seem this in my life and I've worked in all the MAGAF.

- You don’t actually have to work. For this role, there is no way of tracking productivity. So people who actually do work and people who sit around loafing all day are essentially the same. - No deadlines, deliverables or goals. So you will just feel like you’re wasting time. - Only 12 sick days a year. And you have to earn them on an hourly, per pay check basis. - This is an hourly role. So you’ll be treated like a child. You’ll be told exactly when to take your lunch and breaks. Even though the job is pretty much online and should allow for more flexibility. Also they will make it very evident that they don’t trust you with organization secrets. Apple in general is very paranoid. - Archaic practices. This job is literally online. It can be done from literally anywhere and any communication required could be done online. However, there are no options to work from home, or even an open workspace at the office. You will not be given a laptop. You will have a desktop and will have to work from an uncomfortable desk. Management is not open to the flexibilities of this day and age. - They’ll tell you they want feedback, but they really don’t. - Communication is very manual. Managers will literally go around to every one or yell for everyone to gather for a meeting, instead of using all the technology available to us. This is really just funny to watch. - Managers aren’t really that important. They can barely get any answers to any work problems. They’re just as in the dark as we are.
