      Pros

      Great company leadership, nice campus, great commute options, products to be proud of, strong brand recognition

      Cons

      This is not Google or a fun start up with company parties and beer in the office - this is a carefully oiled machine that is constantly under scrutiny. As a result, you are expected to work on Apple's hours (all the time), be prepared to battle red tape, and constantly operate with numerous people and teams with no one having a full sense of the end goal (because it is a secret). Additionally there is very little upward movement.

      Pros

      We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

      Cons

      ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
