Company: Apple
Date: 2018-11-25
Overall rating: 1/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Junior

Severely long hours = McDonald's hourly wage
Pros: - Apple name on resume
- Employee discount... isn't worth the trouble, pain, and PTSD you will experience
Cons: -  At least 60-80 work weeks. Expect to work late nights, weekends,  and holidays.  While the company shuts down for Thanksgiving, you can expect to be working in Finance. Say goodbye to family dinners, time with friends, and any semblance of a life.
- Low merit increases that don't even cover inflation and cost of living. 
- No annual bonus because management wants to keep it for themselves. No stock re-ups because you're a support function. 
- Management will take your work as their own and cut you out of meetings with leadership. You will not be recognized for any work you do so don't expect career mobility.
- Too many big egos at play. Environment hostile and full of finger pointing.  HR completely useless when issues are brought to their attention. You will meet more jerkholes here than anywhere else you may have worked in the past or future.
- Expect to work during vacations. Everyone's job is so pigeon holed in their job that there's no one to adequately back you up. Work will just keep piling up and you will be even farther behind if you do not log in.
- Management will not hesitate to contact you on your personal cell phone during all hours of the day.  They don't care what you're doing, only that they need something from you.
- Despite producing great products, the company does a pathetic job investing in systems to help employees manage the massive amount of work and pace. The processes are outdated, not scaled to handle the work volume, and employee inputs are not taken in consideration. Those employee surveys are a complete joke.
- The turnover is atrocious. Expect close to 100% turnover on an annual basis. There was an employee on my team who turned in her resignation after a month. It's no wonder there are so many open reqs on the company website all the time.
