Apple reviews

There has been a consensus for a long time, even its among top engineers, that Apple does not tend to promote people or compensate them fairly. Have you ever seen Apple on the Forbes 100 Best Places to Work?' Enough said. You will be just a number to them if you decide to join their ranks. The focus is purely on product and the bottom line, which of course is no surprise in the corporate world. But if you're a corporate hooch, I guess you won't mind that. 'Think Different!' Ahem. And here's some juicy gossip: Steve is afraid of donuts! How do I know? Because he banned them, along with balloons from Macs cafe. He also has a fear of buttons. Origin of this phobia - unknown. But here is what you should be afraid of my friends; the tendency that Apple and just about every company these days has to keep Permatemps. You may want to board the Mother Ship so badly it hurts, but take my advice and do it the regular way, through the Apple hiring process. Don't go through an 'agency.' Basically they are in the business of laundering...people. These are shady operations that are not even real companies and are in cahoots with Apple to deny you benefits or any basic rights, all while forcing you to do the same work and keep exactly the same hours as employees. For what? Surely not for your benefit.

Apple has a habit of hiring people based on initial qualities. Unfortunately, this often means you'll work with some of the most horrendous, lazy people. Ritual-almost child-like morning updates and tasks, focused on recycling as much repetitive tasks and mantra's regarding apple products. Any dis-taste or preference away from products that are not made by them almost leads to habitual bullying. Better hide your Samsung at home. No route to go. Habitual gate-keeping of roles and use of promotions as bargaining tools. Convoluted, childish and almost cliche internal politics involved make management, on occasion, look worse than the often childish staff they're there to manage. You will often mix with a variety of staff who have simply been employed for a longer time. The 10 Year + colleagues are basically furniture, and as such were able to dictate their wage at an early time. You'll often find yourself working with far older colleagues who have abnormally high salaries whilst performing tasks to a bare minimum standard. The staff have been fairly well treated. This has led to unmanageable expectations, delusions of grandeur within the company and slightly large egos within a micro-cosmos. The pay is only slightly above minimum wage, and has not increased with inflation to an acceptable standard. Do not be fooled by rumours. Almost all of my roles have paid something similar or more.
