Pros

When I started in 2012, I had an unbelievable crew of people I worked with. All of which were very hungry, curious and passionate about the job. I was forced out of my comfort zone almost daily which helped develop me greatly. The culture of feedback has really helped me in my work outside of Apple.

Cons

As another or many reviews have stated, the Apple Inc. We once knew and loved is no longer. Disappointed by the ability of management to actually manage and hire great people. It was a constant battle to keep developing. Once you were promoted to Genius, you were then boxed into that role, never to be heard from again. Now this isn’t the story for everyone, if you know the right person or scratch the right back you could be pulled into another area of the business OR maybe even lead genius, which is just someone who stands there to hover over you to take your break or to let you know you haven’t been ripping through the queue of people waiting fast enough. Lots of over promising and under delivery.

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
