Failure Analysis Engineering or a Joke!
Pros: 1. You are working with apple products. 2. Diversity/Mix of different cultures. 3. A good temporary job(little better than working at Target, Walmart, Costco etc) for a fresh out engineering grad but not as a career.
Cons: 1. Lies. All lies. Beware Electrical Engineers as there is no such thing as electrical engineering (designing/developing) job here since it is an Apple repair center. The temporary agency/ manufacturing/repairing companies which work at this Apple facilities- will tell you one thing at the beginning and will make you do completely different things. I think Apple knows this but still allowing this to happen.
2. They take advantage of people's misery. Lots of new college grad especially who are international students are getting job here in order to keep OPT
3. They will make you work long hours. Sometimes 12 hours a day without paying overtime. They will tell you that you are an exempt salary employee and you have to finish whatever you have left.
4. If you are hired as a contractor, be prepared to get a huge amount of your paycheck get deducted even after tax cuts.
5. You will be sometimes doing operators' job even if you are hired as an engineer because operators are not adequately trained. No one in fact has time for that due to the high volume of the production/repair line.
6. If you are an electrical engineer, run away from this place as you will forgot what you learn from electrical engineering to interview somewhere else, IF you work here for too long.
7. The schedule is a bit odd.
8. A lot of Chinese/Taiwanese people in these facility directly coming from China/Taiwan and they play favoritism. They even talk about you in-front of you in their language. Very unprofessional and rude.
9. The security is too tight and sometimes disruptive to your work specially if you are in a hurry.
