Does Apple do layoffs? If so, how frequently? What about PIPs?

What are the review cycle like and is there stack ranking? YOE - 9 TC - 245K

Rarely any layoffs or PIPs

It's rare, Apple hires people to stay long term. Which is also why it's so hard to get job here. Chinese people call Apple the Iron Rice bowl because once you here, you are set.

Interesting. I would say this was even true for tech support, I did that during college. If someone didn’t get along with their manager, they would just switch them to another team instead. So much would be tried before firing. Heck, even interviewing for retail and tech support took too many rounds LOL. I went thru maybe...5 interviews before I landed retail. I remember thinking to myself “do I really want this?”

Agree. Our applicant to hire rate is 0.1%. I went through 12 interviews for an engineering position.
