I recently interviewed at Apple TDG and Cruise Automation. Both roles are senior ML/DL engineer. I have PhD + 2 YOE. I received positive feedback from both and waiting for the offer details. What should be my compensation expectation? How do Apple TDG work culture and career growth prospects compare against Cruise Automation? Please feel free to share any other suggestions and thoughts that might help me in decision making.
Save yourself by going to Apple
Could you please elaborate more? In what aspects Apple is a better option? Work? Work culture? Benefits? etc.
Ping? @Yuca elaborate please
Is TDG same as SPG?
Sort of. There are multiple SPG’s at Apple. One of them is TDG. It’s just a nomenclature to highlights secret projects and differentiate orgs under different SVPs.
Join Apple and you’ll appreciate the work being done at TDG. One of the most heavily invested groups at Apple. Great work culture, huge impact and rewards.
Thanks for your feedback. How is the cross functional team culture? Are the teams siloed or they collaborate across TDG?

What is TDG?
