Apple Vs. Google


Forum Post 4 Answers Apple Vs. Google

I've received offers for a software engineering position at Apple and Google and am having difficulty deciding which to take.

Google is famous for providing better perks, but ultimately I feel that shouldn't be the deciding factor.

At Apple is that I know exactly what team I'll be working with, whereas at Google there's the potential to be assigned to an uninteresting project.

Google, on the other hand, seems to offer more flexibility to switch teams and learn about other projects.

If anyone with experience at either company can provide any insights, it would be much appreciated!
