Pros

The benefits are good, however not really better than what other companies offer in Cork or Ireland in general. There are some great people in the department to work with.

Cons

The position has really gone downhill quickly. From being quite different from a general AppleCare job, it's now being incredibly micromanaged. Meetings, trainings, offline time is cancelled constantly due to service levels and management is sending out emails to the department threatening with disciplinary actions for small mistakes to people. The department has been understaffed for a very long time and it's only getting worse. There's a very big difference on how managers are approaching advisors - some are ok with people being off the phone to work on cases, even in busy times, while others are micromanaging them and asking them to go available to take calls all the time.

Pros

Benefits package is well rounded, tuition reimbursement program is good

Cons

ZERO work/life balance, Management are mostly outside hires with no relevant experience, Management can be hit or miss (some are amazing and decent human beings and some are absolute monsters) HR is useless and doesn’t protect employees from sexual harassment, CEO seems more concerned about sending employees emails demanding they take his views on political issues rather than focusing on creating more innovative tech.

Pros

The group that I worked in truly values its' employees, as does the company. It's clear to me that if you are a high contributor in your group and take advantage of the Apple benefits, you will be compensated accordingly and feel like you are valued. This will require a work-life imbalance, so be willing to sacrifice weekends or evenings if you want to be a high contributor and receive larger raises, cash bonus and RSUs. Otherwise, raises, cash bonus and RSUs will be smaller or non-existent. You can't "coast along" here or become stagnant. If you do, compensation will suffer. I had the time of my life working at Apple, and if not for a 2 hour (each way) commute to work each day, I would absolutely still be working there.

Cons

In order to live in Silicon Valley where you can raise a family, it is extremely expensive. I had to live a 2-hour commute (each way) away from Sunnyvale in order to own a good house in a good school district. As a high contributor in my group, I made a substantial amount of money, but it was not enough to live close to work. Living in Silicon Valley is not a problem unique to Apple, but that's the biggest pain point that I had. I willingly gave up many evenings and weekends for Apple because I loved working there and I was 100% behind the mission of contributing to the building of Apple's wonderful products in my area of expertise.
