Got an offer 160/140/30 for ICT3 in Apple Media Products team. Don't have competing offers to negotiate much. How is engineering talent, culture, WLB, refreshers etc. at Apple compared to Facebook, GOogle, Uber etc. Please advise. YOE: 4 Tc:220K
All slightly worse than your companies (except WLB when compared to FB) but not much. Congrats
Nope. GNFAA in that order
i personally prefer Apple over facebook, amazon and netflix.
Apple is top tier for certain kinds of software (OS Compiler Tools Chipset Software Storage). Apples cloud and Siri unit is acquiring expertise rapidly and hiring lot of experts. It is not good yet for Service oriented culture. No company is as good as Amazon at that though
Agree, but Amazon shits the bed in WLB, pay, and culture as per Blind posts here.
Side note, are you ok with switching to Apple for a lower TC?
Nah
I hear refreshers at Apple are better than F/G Engineering talent is team specific because thereâs no centralised bar, but in general itâs comparable to Uber Microsoft Amazon, slightly lesser than FNG WLB is also team dependent. I feel itâs much better than amazon and Facebook in general. Culture is not very open. You either like it or donât. I find it alright
@OP Apple is only good for resume for SWE unless you are working on iOS or HW. If you role is internal/supporting tool for Media that you wonât learn much. As far WLB goes I find it depends on team to team. Refresher some groups/orgs get good refresher 50-100k. I wouldnât count on it unless someone from product media say so... IMHO apple is HW company if you have offer from FGULAirbnbANZN those are real SW companies you will learn lot when comparing to Apple... Apple is just brand that all..
Apple is definitely not a real SW company for sure
As per the job level you seem like a junior. In these formative stages it is important to surround yourself with people who are good at what they do. So generally go to the place where you can learn more. This is the level where you are allowed to make tons of mistakes and learn a lot.
Not top tier at all
