Internal mobility worked for me
Switched orgs from services to hardware engineering after two years. Process took a quarter but the receiving team rolled out the welcome mat.

Wikipedia
An apple is the round, edible fruit of an apple tree. Fruit trees of the orchard or domestic apple, the most widely grown in the genus, are cultivated worldwide. The tree originated in Central Asia, where its wild ancestor, Malus sieversii, is still found. Apples have been grown for thousands of years in Eurasia before they were introduced to North America by European colonists. Apples have cultural significance in many mythologies and religions.

Promotion ladders are narrow at senior levels
Levels exist but the cohort sizes shrink fast above ICT5. Patience and visibility on cross-team projects matter as much as raw output.

Best benefits I've encountered
Healthcare, ESPP, retirement match, and the on-campus amenities. The intangible — free coffee aside — was the medical staff for ergonomic issues.

Hardware org runs hot during product cycles
Pre-event crunch is intense. Post-event the calm doesn't fully return because the next product's already in motion. Compensation reflects the pace.

Secrecy culture is exactly what you'd expect
Three years in software engineering. Compartmentalisation is real — you often don't know what the team next to you is shipping. Trade-off is the privacy of being able to focus on your actual project.

AppleCare worth it for laptops
Battery swap covered. Without the plan that's a $200 repair.

Accessory pricing is the only sin
$80 cleaning cloth aside, the actual products do what they're supposed to.

Online support routing is rough
Three chats, two phone calls, finally got to someone who could help. In-store was 5 minutes by comparison.

Genius Bar saved me
Logic board died out of warranty. Brought it in expecting bad news. Tech transferred my data and offered a refurb upgrade for less than a logic-board swap. Walked out happy.
