Pros

Working at Appled means absolutely everyone on the planet knows who you work for, the name brand is very powerful and means a) when you're doing things with customers or suppliers, they listen, and b) the best resume builder you can dream of. There is a lot of mystic associated with the Appled image and many tech employers place great weight to it. Additionaly, because of the ridiculously high volume they do for some products, the work environment allows you exposure to extreme volume production, meaning you can do a lot of things and explore a lot of areas you aren't allowed to do at smaller firms.

Cons

Ridiculous working hours. NO work/life balance

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
