      Hardware Test Engineering (HWTE TDL)

      Test design lead
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of cross functional team interactions, if you like travel and are single lots of opportunity to travel to China business class and stay in premium hotels. HWTE org works across all product lines so potential to switch between them.

      Cons

      Work life balance expect to work your weekends and holidays. Evening calls and text messages during family times are normal. If don't answer then it can be perceived that you are not committed to Apple. HWTE can be a very political at times. Previous experience outside of Apple counts for nothing once you join. You practically become an intern again. TDL role has lots of responsibilities but no one is accountable to you. You are advised upon Jong to bribe people with lunch to ensure your emails get answered.

      Looks only good on the resume....

      Customer service
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good benefits (compared to other companies) - Good salary - Nice office / canteen (if you're lucky enough to receive a place in the office) - Looks good on resume > great to start your career and then move on to a better place - International atmosphere: You meet great and interesting people from all over the world

      Cons

      - Extreme Micro-Management > Big Apple is watching you... > every toilet break, every mouse click is monitored and will be discussed in weekly meetings with your manager - No freedom/no creativity/no own decission making - Too greedy to provide office space for employees > trying to make you work from home - Kindergarten atmosphere > they treat you like a child/teenager and are surprised if you act like one after a while - Feeling brainwashed and working for a cult > management is resistant against negative feedback - Poor management > wandering from one (unnecessary) meeting to the next instead of being productive > upper management sometimes completely out of touch with the employees - Favoritism in promoting people - Unfulfilling work: You are never good enough. They will always find ways to make you work better/harder even if you achieved all their goals and your statistics look great - You are just a number
