Apple este una dintre cele mai interesante si mai cautate companii de catre cei interesati sa se angajeze, iar cativa fosti angajati temporari ai celor din Cupertino au oferit, intr-un post al Quora, cateva detalii extrem de interesante despre experienta lor in Cupertino. Avand in salariu de baza de pana in 5000$ lunar, ei lucrau la proiecte reale care aveau legatura cu produse aflate in proces de dezvoltare, interactionau cu membrii ai echipelor de conducere din cadrul companiei, opiniile lor erau luate in considerare si erau tratati aproximativ la fel precum un angajat permanent.
You get put on a real project, with real responsibilities, and have real impact on product outcomes. You interact with movers and shakers in the company on a fairly frequent basis, and your opinion is valued as if you were an employee. There were frequent intern trips in to San Francisco, nightly volleyball games at 1 Infinite Loop, outings to various Cupertino restaurants, etc.
Angajatii temporari se bucurau, in mare, de privilegii asemanatoare cu cele ale angajatilor permanenti, atat in ceea ce priveste activitatile derulate in afara orelor de munca, cat si in ceea ce priveste cazarea. Angajatii care nu locuiau in Bay Area au posibilitatea de a trai in chirie intr-una dintre casele puse la dispozitie de catre Apple in Cupertino, chiria fiind ieftina pentru respectiva zona, casele fiind complet echipate si oferind acces la piscina, teren de tenis sau de volei, insa in fiecare casa locuiesc minim 3 angajati ai companiei.
Apple offer you a great housing opportunity a few blocks from the main campus for a small price. Those houses are great, fully equipped and they include full access to a pool, tennis court, beach volley ball court and a gym.
In ciuda unor oportunitati grozave, majoritatea angajatilor temporari nu lucreaza in departamente importatante si nu au obligatii importante, statutul lor oferindu-le doar posibilitatea de a efectua sarcini minore, desi accesul la informatii importante poate fi facilitat de catre conducatori in baza aptitudinilor fiecaruia. Chiar si asa, nu toti angajatii temporari lucreaza efectiv in cadrul campusul din Cupertino, unii fiind localizati in cladiri aflate la cateva mile distanta de sediul Apple, interactiune cu cei din conducere fiind extrem de dificila.
My team was located in a distant building on Vallco Parkway, a couple of miles away from the main campus at Infinite Loop. This meant that I was physically separate from most of the other interns, and also there was no cafe in that building. The building itself was also not very pleasant–it consisted mainly of dark, narrow hallways with absurdly high ceilings for some reason, and private offices for everyone. Having my own (needlessly huge) office meant that I could literally go an entire day without talking to anyone else.
Mai multe detalii puteti afla in aceasta pagina, insa trebuie sa aveti rabdare si sa aveti in vedere faptul ca majoritatea informatiilor vin de la oameni care au lucrat in cadrul Apple cu multi ani in urma.
