Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: former

Siloed, movement nearly impossible, cheap
Pros: High quality products. Everyone who works at apple is really high caliber at their job. Usually you get thanksgiving week off.
Cons: No free lunch, no free gym, no free drinks, political hierarchies flourish.  Upward mobility is almost non-existant. Moving from one team to another is rarely allowed. Employees are strictly forbidden to develop iOS apps. The pay is not great. Stock share grants are reserved for people above you. As far as internal support goes, IS&T wants to help you, but really can't turn the ship too much.  Take a number, get in line, see you in a year if they can help you; probably not. It's not their fault, it's just a gigantic slow moving company now.
