Pros

Benefits. Good pay. That's about it.

Cons

Management doesn't care about you at all. They love talking over you and talking you like a child. The whole environment is cancerous honestly. They pride themselves on culture but I never saw it, and managers were never friendly or empathic with me on my personal needs or my medical needs. I told them before my firing that this would really be rock bottom for me and that is kill myself. When they fired me in a webcam session I honestly considered it, and with 2 managers on camera pulled my gun out cocked it and put it to my head on camera. They didn't respond or do anything before I told them I need to leave and shut down my computer. I dare anyone at Apple to pull that session since I know it's recorded, but that's who you're dealing with You'll be screwed time and again on your schedule so just get used to that. 4 years I was there, never once did I get the schedule I wanted or anything close to it. And you'll be severally chastised for asking questions about it, the last time I did I was mysteriously fired 2 days later. The times for that by the way are 1pm-2am EST. So if you can't work those hours don't bother applying because these people simply don't care. No matter what you are the customers punching bag, no it's ands or buts. This company will never have your back. Moving up is impossible because for one there's been a hiring freeze since 2016 and two you'll have a million managers in your time each resetting your progress, asking you the same questions as the last until you're ground pulp and give up.

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
