App Reviewer - Clocking in with No Joy
Pros: - Easy pay for mindless work.
- Job security.
- Culturally diverse.
- Showers in the bathrooms.
- Fruit delivered Tuesday and Thursdays 8am front lobby. #bananas
Cons: - Learning the App Store guidelines has a steep learning curve.
- Lack of communication across all teams and levels. Ideas get lost into the abyss. Messages are always misunderstood.
- No transparency with any business and operational changes. App reviewers are never told how or why management came up with the "solutions". We are only told to act upon the decisions that have been made.
- Lack of devices = sharing devices. This is APPLE! Jeez.
- Rely on many many many many many tools.
- Tools are frequently broken which prevents us from reaching our goal on a consistent basis. App Reviewers pays the price because we have to work overtime to catch up to our goals.
- We have to work mandatory weekends on very short notices.
- Lack of work/life balance easily burns us out.
- Supporting teams are apathetic towards operational needs.
- Lack of Apple and team spirit
- Lack of recognition and personal accomplishments
- Managers don't know how to motivate and galvanize the team. They themselves look lost. Some of them sit in their offices all day.
- Management has stated that there is no career growth in this department.
- No work from home.
- This is a very large team. We have a very small restrooms.
- If one person gets sick, many people get sick.
