Pros

Apple is full of lots of toys and plenty of good people to work with. Everyone loves their new Macs as soon as they open them up at home. With innovative products like the iPhone 3G and new Macbook lineup, there are always new customers swarming the stores. There is plenty of opportunity to learn how to multi-task as well as communicate effectively with team mates and customers.

Cons

Apple is retail, and like any retail store the challenge of not selling your soul does exist. Remember to stay true to who you are, and keep in mind that there are plenty of people dying out there because they do not have access to enough food or clean water-- all the while customers will be pouring in and out of the store with brand new three-thousand dollar macbook Airs (so their wife can check her e-mail in the kitchen wtf).

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
