Pros

Apple employees are valued very much by other employers. Next job is always easy. Opportunity to work on latest technology.

Cons

Work resembles that of a start up without enough rewards. Long work hours. Employees are loyal to company, but company does not seem to care about employee retention. In product development groups, employee turn around is high. In iPod group where I worked, on average every month there would be about 40-50 employees leaving the company and approximately same number would join as well.

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
