I recently joined in SEG at the Portland site as ICT3 and saw that most people are apple brand fans. Whats the site culture like? I know a few people moved from Bay area, so is it same as the other teams in Cupertino? Since your manager is probably the most important person at Apple, how good are they in general for growth?

    The work is average but what’s worse is that the site is seen more as a satellite site to the main Cupertino site and treated pretty much as contractors jumping from project to project. Hence expect to put in 70-80 hours a week on average with not much say in the kind of work you end up with.

      Interesting, how is the attrition not quite high in that case? I would expect people to start asking for promotion after a couple of years in. Do you mind sharing your TC and YOE? How long did you work at the site?

      Do you work at the Portland location? If so, what are your observations?

      I did and I left last year. Management dont care about this site, they started this site only for labor to support cupertino projects. No clear goal and and long term plan. WLB is non-existent. GTFO is my suggestion.
