Apple reviews

It's just unbelievable that, after I hired on I had absolutely no job assignment, no introduction to the group, no keys to the group area. Just sat there waiting, waiting waiting. No matter how much I studied the product line and showed how I could use my skill set to really help them where I knew help was needed, all I got was nothing, no communication, no job assignment. So I watched a critical product get delayed, and delayed, and delayed. Instead of analysis and calculations, their approach to solve the problem was to have meetings meetings meetings on and on with a bunch of people who couldn't care less, staring at their cell phones instead of joining the meeting! I was like, This is Apple? RUFKMe? By having meetings upon meetings the manager could lie to the upper management that something was being done.I looked back at my resume to make sure it didn't say somewhere, "I am skilled at being ignored and tapping my fingers on my desk". Nope, not in there.

No life. Apple is your life. The high expectations around both output & quality will drive you to do excellent work, but your life will suffer. Add to this the insane hours commuting and you can bid your fun times farewell. After a few years of this grind, you may expect to be promoted. Forget about that. You may be able to move up the pay scale, but an actual promotion is a unicorn among cattle.
