      Patchy, but generally OK

      Pros

      excellent products, large emphasis on design and branding. second-rate is not acceptable and being an industry leader in digital music sales and product design is something that everyone is very proud of. People tend to be friendly and extremely intelligent, with a great work ethic at a very young age. Almost everyone works at what they love doing. Also Apple is good about shifting you to other parts of the company if you aren't happy. They want to keep employees.

      Cons

      the process of getting to the final product is gruelling and inefficient. Lots of politics leading to strange partnerships and promotions based not on quality but on starstruck management caving to external parties.not paid as well as other companies in Silicon Valley, with long hours, never really being "off" work, strange management hierarchy… iTunes in particular seems to be chaotic and suffers from a noticeable lack of competent management on the upper levels, with a lot of grandfathering-in of people with no music industry background and promotions seemingly based solely on seniority and random luck.

      Pros

      Smart and passionate team members: you're going to be working with some of the smartest and most passionate people in the world. You will have good moral and feel like you are doing great work and 'making a difference.' Creativity and exploration is widely accepted and encouraged: Apple is a place that is willing to explore and introduce new technology and user experience--that is the core of their mantra. Short development cycles: products ship, you feel accomplished.

      Cons

      Lack of care for work/life balance, lack of process, management will bow to Steve Job's every whim. If you're going to work on a 'hot product' be ready to leave your life at the door and know you are expected to drop your life for Steve Jobs.
