Apple vs. Tesla: Which one has worse WLB
I’m in the final interview stages of an analytics role for both. Both companies are notorious for their work life balance. Hoping for some input on which one is worse.
Tesla for sure worse WLB and lower pay. Many of my co workers left to work at Apple, google, etc
Apple has like 500 different teams across different orgs with wildly different culture and WLB across them. Generalizing them is absolutely stupid.
I have worked at Apple for 6+ years and my work life balance has been quite good. It totally depends on the org/team at Apple or as such any company. I have heard WLB is bad in some hardware teams in Apple though I don’t have any firsthand experience.
Choose Apple if you got the offer, no brainer. Also curious why are you leaving Pinterest? I heard they pay top💰and much sane workplace
I’m okay with my pay but not super happy though. I did not negotiate well enough. It definitely is a very sane and human place to work at. Not a fan of the long commute though. I’m just exploring my options.
DS at Pinterest now? Current tc and yoe?
I worked at Apple and Tesla. The team I’m on at Apple has similar WLB to Tesla. This is mainly due to factory (diff time zone) I enjoyed working at Tesla more because it was smaller so my contributions affected the entire company’s products whereas Apple is much more mature. So, my contributions affects Apple at a much smaller scale. At Tesla I felt like part of the mission. At Apple I’m part of a small bubble and my focus is on that one product (and Apple has hundreds of products) That being said, I like Apple.
Hopefully not Tesla because I’ll be interning there. But I feel like that’s the common thing to say on here
