Working at Apple in Santa Monica, CA: 3 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Santa Monica, CA Area

"Apple is dynamic, fast-paced, and always interesting. They have razor sharp focus on the customer experience. So much so that building your own skill set often get put by the wayside. All of my excellent experiences are centered around their product which can sometimes be an obstacle to getting other external positions. The company truly inspires me to become a better leader at what ever I do, but other companies want to see a manager title before they believe your leadership experience."

"Great company. I would definitely work there again."

What do you like about working at Apple?

"I liked working for a profitable and successful company."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Do your homework! The people who work for Apple are competent, intelligent, and highly skilled, and you will be expected to perform at a similar level."

What don't you like about working at Apple?

"Corporate culture was extreme, and it was difficult to manage a balance between my personal life and work life."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Become more accessible to your customers. Recently, it seems Apple is becoming what Microsoft was: overly confident in their own sense of genius, and less responsive to what their customers need and want."
