Pros

At Apple, you have the chance to advance an industry. The company leads the world in several fields, they actively seek continuous improvement in the product, and it's very rare for technical workers to be led by non-technical managers.

Cons

The downside to working there is that there are still a few of the people around who nearly ran Apple into the ground back in the Sculley/Spindler/Amelio days. Fortunately though, they are few and far between.

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
