Pros

Recognition of the company name by general public. Employee discounts/benefits. Free meals at times. Company hierarchy is pretty flat, easy access to upper management. Developers, QAs, marketing, documentation, managers, ...etc. all work together as a team, in constant communication. Most of the first line manager are very technical, often required to code just like the other developers, so it's easier to communicate with the manager. Get to work on great products that have profound impact on people's daily life.

Cons

Telecommuting is not encouraged. Some pressure to keep "innovating" and coming up with new ideas. Hard to keep with the fast pace and long hours. Burn out work schedule is expected for at least 2-3 months before every major release. Even during non-deadline time, the younger, fresh out of college students would volunteer to work nights and weekends for no apparent reasons. The culture makes the work/life balance harder for those who have family.

Pros

Apple is a fast paced environment. It does require long hours and dedication to work there. With a company as innovative and clandestine as Apple, trusting Senior Leadership is a must. I had no problems with this at all since I saw them on the upswing.

Cons

Long hours and some of the craziest, fast-paced environments in retail from October to January 1. You can say goodbye to work/life balance during this time of the year.

Pros

Great company to work, surrounded by dedicated Apple enthusiasts like yourself. The store staff is truly dedicated to helping each customer. Come in with a smile, and you'll get what you want, usually.

Cons

It's a retail job. Plain and simple. While everyone loves their iPhone and Macbook as much as you do, at the end of the day, it's still retail, and pay, while better than most retailers, could always be better.
