IS&T is Toxic
Pros: Meet lots of interesting people.
Cons: This review is of the very toxic IS&T department. Steer clear of this department. The environment is discriminatory... those who are most incompetent get promoted, while the brightest and most hardworking are demoted if they question long-standing traditions or processes.  90% of workers are on H1B visas straight from India. Work is sloppy and timelines are ridiculously fast. There is no focus on or appreciation of quality. The business units for which software is implemented are not seen as important. There is a spirit of secrecy and fear. The department needs a major overhaul in management which should come directly from Tim Cook. The atmosphere is downright disgusting.
