Hi everyone, I was working as a SDE(L3) at Google when I was impacted by the recent layoffs. I am now interviewing for SDET positions at Sony Playstation and Apple. I have a couple of questions and would appreciate your guidance: 1. Which company should I go if I get the offers based on following comparison aspects? - Team WLB: PS > Apple as far as I know during interviews - Company Brand for job hopping: Apple > PS or doesn't matter - Internal Transfer difficulty from SDET to SDE - Job security (layoff?) 2. How do the two companies treat their SDET employees in comparison to SDE employees? I'm also interviewing with Navan for SDE, but I saw a lot of negative reviews in Blind. Adding it to Poll just in case. I would greatly appreciate any advice or insights you may have on these matters. Thank you in advance for your help. #apple #playstation #tripactions #navan #sdet #sde #jobhunt #compare #companyculture
Whatever you do, don't join us. We're in a real hell at the moment, the reviews are not wrong. Unless of course you are looking for more mental pain in your life, courtesy of an anti-vaxxer CEO who fires fellow execs publicly with a load of F-bombs.
Holy fuck, what a clown. Glad I saw this before applying.
PlayStation even if half the comp. Apples shit culture is not worth it
You gone mad , Apple is worth everything now
Run. Run. Fast. TripActions is not worth anything. Don't fall for recruiter crap. It's the worst company on the job market.
Apple senior SDET FTE is treated basically the same as SWE if you're comparing to other companies.
You mean Senior SDET == SWE1 at apple? Is it in terms of compensation, respect & scope as well?
I mean the features you will be working on will be test frameworks and pipelines but I think respect and scope at apple is similar between SDET and SWE
How did it go? Can I DM you for Navan info?
Apple SDET is similar to SWE and pay is also almost similar, go for Apple SDET and if it’s in services then 💯 go for it , you will thanks me after 4 years of vesting and refresher, perfect way to grab half a million in 4 years
