Apple RTO status?

I'm interested in applying for a job at Apple. There were lots of people grumbling about mandatory RTO a while ago. What's the current RTO status? (I'm okay with going in BTW, just curious.) #apple #rto

3 days a week. Tuesday and Thursdays for everyone. The third day is decided by team/org, usually it’s Wednesday. So you can’t just pick any three days and show up on those. Also 4 weeks of WFH a year (must be used in one week increments).

WFH weeks are an interesting addition. Are people actually showing up 3+ days a week?

Apple 🍎ofmyeye Jul 11, 2023

Yes the vast majority of people are. Occasionally maybe if you have a doctors appointment or something you may miss a day but otherwise people do generally show up all 3 days. It’s been the case since last September. Some teams like in hardware have to be in office 5 days a week. In fact they were required to be in office even during COVID in 2020 and never did WFH at all. This is Apple, we don’t mess around.

Interviewed recently and in all rounds, each person asked if I’m okay to come into office. Some said 3 and some said 5. Multiple teams so each have their own mandate.

Thanks. Seems like a lot of things really vary by team at Apple, including the interviews themselves. How were the interviews for you? Were you interviewing for a HW role, SW role or something else?
