      Cool yet ruthless

      Pros

      If you're looking for the cool factor, Apple is a great place to be. It can be fun to say you work for Apple.

      Cons

      Apple takes pride in keeping things confidential and this has huge marketing impact for them. Product releases are treated as news. The problem is that everything is confidential inside the organization too, which means its hard to get the information you need to do your job. It's also a pretty ruthless place to work, with non-stop urgent deadlines and little appreciation for your work.

      If you are considering a field sales job, do your homework.

      Pros

      This post relates only to corporate sales, not Apple stores, and not working for Apple Corporate in Cupertino. As an account executive, the group (e.g. Higher Education, K-12, Corporate or Channel) you work for makes a huge difference. The products are great, and the benefits are great. Customers love the products, and hence generally want to work with you. It's a company you can take pride in at the high level.

      Cons

      Most of the sales managers have been in their jobs for 10-20 inside Apple. My manager was promoted despite having no experience working outside of Apple for the last 20 years. The "good old boy" network was in full swing. There was zero tolerance for "out of the Apple box" approaches business development, which is highly ironic for a company known for innovation. Our team brought proven concepts borrowed from other industries, with documented ROI, yet every attempt to improve processes was crushed by people who had been in their jobs far too long. To make things worse, very poor performance is tolerated if the employee is a manager "favorite", while top performers suffered. Many members of our group went for several years without a performance review, which then eliminated their chances for salary increases and promotion.

      If you have the energy, a great place to grow

      Pros

      independent work environment, exciting and forward thinking products. Very casual environment with senior management. Being a relatively young person, I've found my management tree has been very good about compensating good work, regardless of age.

      Cons

      I've found some employees in parallel organizations (such as the EPM's) to be overstaffed, overpaid, egotistical and incompetent while at the same time, certain teams in in more technical areas have been grossly understaffed and underpaid. The environment is very fast paced in some of the higher profile teams, and thus people tend to burn out
