Pros

Apple the company itself is a great company to work for. They do offer a ton of benefits outside of pay.

Cons

I hate Apple's internal hiring process. Even if you have worked for years at Apple, the 20 min interview holds more merit than all your accomplishments at Apple. The process of getting promoted, transferring etc. due to the interview stage seems completely arbitrary.

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
