I have received a job offer to work at Apple yet I have heard some horror stories about work life balance at Apple. I work hard but I want to make sure the job is not going to cut in to Family time.
TC, depends on team/org and how much TC bump u r getting
Depends on team also how close you are to a product/service being launched during a special event.
ICloud drive
Well, in my group (not iCloud) it is quite busy in general. Sometimes it is impacting family, like working at night and weekend. Does not happen very often though, few weeks a year to meet deadlines.
iCloud team I believe is in LinkedIn building Sunnyvale by Matilda. It is good team but not focus product for Apple. Work life balance will depend on team and your manager. Some teams are single person DRI directly responsible individual. Those might get hard if there is lot of support. Compensation is big thing when deciding as core teams get more windfalls.
ICloud is not in the Mathilda campus. That is all Maps at this time.
It’s a shit culture, very political. Management would verbally set the bench of 55-60 hours of work a week on a normal week (not busy). They except you to be an expert at every single technology apple has (internal shit that has no or bad documentation). Be ready to see people yelling in meetings, being very rude, use cuss words. I am very shocked as a new comer and thinking of leaving.
Really ? Whoa. Never seen this in my org...
Yeah what org are you in so I know to avoid it lol
What’s your current TC OP? And how much bump are you getting at Apple?
Depends on the manager, team, role, technical debt... Anyone at Apple who gives a blanket answer not factoring the above (not the only factors) hasn’t been here too long and/or don’t talk to members of different orgs In general, HW w/l balance is worse than SW, but then again I’m sure there are exceptions depending on aforementioned factors. Interview your manager after you got the offer (recruiters usually offer to set up a post-offer call), USE it.
