Pros

- You work with awesome people - Salary and benefits are great - You can have a great carreer - The products are amazing

Cons

- retail is retail, working hours sucks - once you are either a creative, ics, genius or expert... you're unlikely to be considered to grow your career inside apple (managements or corporate); 99% of the time: their hire from outside - there is alot of politics going on within the team

Pros

Good colleagues, supportive team environment, strong engineering culture, and good opportunities to learn and grow technically.

Cons

A fast-paced work environment can sometimes create high pressure, priorities may shift frequently, and work-life balance can be challenging during peak project cycles.

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
