Indeed vs Apple in Austin
Assuming comp is the same, would you rather work for Indeed or Apple in Austin?
Apple. Bigger name looks better for your reputation.
Apple is growing in Austin
From an ex Apple employee. I would say Indeed.
From a current Apple employee. I would say Apple. Not only would it look better on your resume, there is no way Indeed can match total comp.
This. Indeed doesn't pay that well. They play the adjust for Austin game
Apple Austin is great
What kinds of problems do you want to work on? How much ownership and influence do you want to have on what it is you work on? You need to answer those questions before any of us can help you here.
Apple, Google career or w.e. will be a major competitor for indeed.
I'll start by saying I don't know much about Apple. Since you you're asking us to choose with equal comp I think it boils down to where you are in your career. New Grad - Indeed ( their Indeed University incubator style onboarding process is pretty great) Entry Level / Eng L1 - Apple. Having them cosign you early in your career will boost your future comp prospects Mid-level - coin flip, go with Indeed is you want 'impact' or are thinking about a leadership role Management - definitely Indeed they're still growing and tons of opportunities for managers
Summed it up well
Seriously??
What role
