Pros

Producing products of good quality and refinement that make technology accessible to even non techies. It's a thrill to walk into an Apple retail store and see all the smiles. In general, people care about the work they do. It's not just a zombie 9-to-5 job. It's a place where you can really take pride in the end product, assuming it's not canceled.

Cons

It's a secret. I can't tell you. Also slightly lower pay relative to other high tech companies. Benefits are average. Main campus is overcrowded and a tourist attraction. Hiring has skyrocketed and kinda makes you think about the quality of those being hired (no evidence, just makes one think about it).

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
