Business Outlook
Pros
The massive scale challenges faced by the Apple IS&T division provide a great environment to elevate your skills. The IS&T model of using lots of low-skilled contractors can be a great way to learn how to manage teams and get things done with poor-quality tools.
Cons
The outsourcing model to contractors from the lowest-bidding vendors is more of a management drain than a benefit. The struggle to corral a horde of barely-competent people and get something accomplished is frustrating, and the overhead is plenty of waste.
