Pros

This is an Apple site so the infrastructure is massive, free coffees and food is good in the cafeterias. Other than that, cannot think of any... :(

Cons

The Volt/Pegatron duo has mastered lying, deceiving people and are getting away with it under the hood of their lord-Apple Inc.They take advantage of people's misery. If you are finding hard time to get a job out of college, have patience and wait a bit longer. But do not fall into their trap unless you are desperate, need OPT extension etc. They will make you work long hours without overtime. 10-12 hours a day is a norm. Sometimes you are asked to work on weekends or expected to be there pretty much all day long. They will tell you that you are an exempt salary employee and you have to finish whatever you have left-it doesn't matter whether you are a direct hire or a contractor. They will give examples how in China everyone does the same, so you have to do the same in the US as well! You will be sometimes doing operators' job even if you are hired as an engineer because operators. You might be in charge of training new hires/operators but at the last minute management will change their decision. So those trained people will sit and relax while you have to do everyone's work and run everywhere-because you are an engineer. You won't have any room left to interview elsewhere or to brush your "real engineering" skills. The security is too tight and sometimes disruptive to your work specially if you are in a hurry.
