Pros

- work with smart, driven people - data-focused environment holds people and teams accountable - perks like doctors onsite, gyms, subsidized cafeterias, free bus transportation and concerts - relationship based, the more you have, the more successful you will be

Cons

- when you get to a high level at Apple, it's free reign - no one closely watching how rank and file are being managed - lack of professionalism with HR, if you disclose anything they are likely to tell your manager and/or do nothing, based on my experience - management always driving staff to do more but not always clear where or why - silos make organization hard to navigate; it takes at least a year to successfully onboard an employee

Pros

• Some of the most intelligent and helpful people you'll ever work with. • Always exciting to see new tech come out and get the public excited too. • Great customers, life-long friendships. • If you are a young student, it is a great place to get paid well while you study.

Cons

• Politics, two-faced and fake individuals, nepotism; management is full of bullies whose behaviour is tolerated, and because no one really doesn't anything about it. Feedback doesn't do anything to change them or your situation. Complaining doesn't do anything. The best managers who really care and do what they can to help you get fired or forced out. HR doesn't help you with anything, ever. You'll be bounced around like a tennis ball and then forgotten about. • Brainwashing you to tell you how great you are daily. But it's retail all the same. It's a game. If you don't play, you'll be treated with disdain until they find a reason to fire you or you quit out of desperation. Being honest and hardworking is not rewarded. Kissing butt does. Being intelligent, opinionated and not taking crap is not what they want. They want drones who will work hard, smile and shut up. • Your life revolves around work, not the other way around. Forget work/life balance, despite them talking about it all the time.

Pros

You learn how much you are willing to put up with to work with the World's #1 company

Cons

Management is incompetent. Management is a series of walking EEOC violations. Beware if you are a person of color or a woman, the management staff is extremely hostile and misogynistic and any attempt to speak up WILL be met with retaliation. If you think you can avoid this by appealing to AppleCare's HR department, that is wrong. They will use every dollar of their team of talking heads to convince you that you deserved that discrimination. The Enterprise group is notorious for "black-listing" anyone who tries to step outside of their department unless they are a white male who goes to church with the Senior Area managers.
