Pros

Discounts on Apple products for your family, friends and yourself.

Cons

Apple India Development Centre is a bad place to work for with not so good work being offered and a lot of politics everywhere from top to bottom. DO NOT JOIN the Apple Online Store (AOS) team or most of the teams in IS&T org. The culture is very very bad. AOS is a very very bad place for growth with very bad low grade work. All the managers are dumb technically at AOS and are only people managers. All of them are from service based companies and don't understand anything related to software development. As a result, very bad work ethics and culture specially in AOS. A lot of politics everywhere is done on daily basis. Everyone licks their bosses as* and expects you to do the same. There is no good work here and all the managers are full of lies and manipulation. There is a lot of favouritism everywhere here. Every manager is from a service based company (TCS, Infosys, etc) and only favours folks from these whom they've usually worked before with. I believe it’s the same with every Apple team or org in India. All the bad reviews about Apple India is absolutely true and one should go through them before joining.

Pros

Good colleagues, supportive team environment, strong engineering culture, and good opportunities to learn and grow technically.

Cons

A fast-paced work environment can sometimes create high pressure, priorities may shift frequently, and work-life balance can be challenging during peak project cycles.

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
