Pros

Probably the response you get from people when introducing you work for Apple. Thanks to the iPod Apple now is a company that touches almost everyone and generally people love the company.

Cons

The pay is awful compared to other companies. That is probably the biggest. Also there are no formal career development opportunities e.g. courses, MBAs etc that you might get at other places.

Pros

Big name company, so it looks great on your resume. Benefits are really good. Onsite in Hollyhill you have cafeterias and meals are priced fairly low.

Cons

- Management changes that lead to new managers that shouldn't be allowed to work with people. - You are not considered as a person but rather as a number that must deliver. - All ethos go out the window if you land with incompetent manager. - No empathy from management, they listen and tell you politely to suck it up or leave, as you're easily replaceable. - Management creating too many obstacles. Even requesting time off, feels like you're doing something bad. - Workload has tripled in the last 6 years. - counting minutes that you use as an extra. - No more joy or pride in working at the company.

Pros

No expectation to work off of the clock.

Cons

Having worked at Apple for several years, I can confidently say that the company no longer lives up to its reputation of being a great place to work. Once known for innovation and caring about its employees, Apple now seems to be more focused on protecting its image rather than fostering a positive, supportive work environment. Management consistently leans on Apple’s long-standing reputation as an excellent employer, all while systematically finding new and different ways to silence those who try to bring back the values the company was once known for. Employees who speak up about issues, propose improvements, or question decisions are often met with retaliation, including being held back from opportunities for advancement. There’s a clear effort to suppress any genuine conversation about culture and improvement. The vibrant, employee-focused atmosphere that Apple once cultivated feels like a distant memory. In recent years, it’s become clear that the company is more interested in maintaining control and minimizing dissent than empowering its employees. Apple’s success may still be undeniable on the outside, but internally, many are struggling to reconcile what the company has become. The disconnect between Apple’s public persona and the internal experience is growing, and it’s disheartening for those of us who believed in the values Apple once championed. Working here has become more about navigating bureaucracy and avoiding the pitfalls of speaking up, rather than contributing to meaningful work in a positive environment.
