Have a final round director interview coming up next week after completing the onsite. The role is technically exciting and I’d learn a lot, but I’m having second thoughts about the company’s mission.

For those who don’t know, Flock Safety makes license plate readers and surveillance cameras used by law enforcement. The technology works, but the ethical implications are real, mass surveillance, privacy concerns, potential for misuse.

Has anyone here worked there or turned down an offer for ethical reasons? How do you weigh personal career growth against the broader impact of what the company builds?

Not looking to be talked into or out of it, just want to hear from people who’ve genuinely wrestled with this.

Hey all, looking for advice from people who've been through something similar.

I'm in final stages with two different Apple teams at the same time. Both are ML/AI focused roles, different locations, different hiring managers, separate recruiters. I know this could all lead to nothing but trying to be prepared just in case.

The situation:

• Team A: Bay Area, onsite done, recruiter emailed today, 8 days after onsite interview asking "how did it go?" reading this as keeping me warm
• Team B: Different city, onsite done, now scheduled for director level interview (3 days from now)

Team B is a stronger fit for my background. Team A might be closer to an offer.

My concerns:

1. Team A offers before Team B director interview concludes
2. Being forced to choose before I have full picture
3. Whether to mention the other Apple role if recruiter asks about competing offers

Specific questions:

• How much time can I realistically ask for on an Apple offer before deciding?
• Has anyone navigated two simultaneous Apple internal processes without it blowing up?
• Do Apple recruiters talk to each other across teams?
• How do you handle "do you have other offers" when the other offer is internal?

No competing FAANG offers so limited leverage on timeline.

Thanks
