Pros

It's exciting to be part of a company that has upward momentum: growing, expanding, and leading change in the industry. The company is constantly evolving--not only it's products, but also the tools, practices, and training for the employees. Never a dull moment! The people who work at Apple are intelligent, flexible, creative, friendly, and fun.

Cons

Apple is NOT known for it's transparency, which can be frustrating in regards to promotions and career paths. For example, it seems to be taboo to ask about pay ranges for the different positions in the stores. The retail environment tends to have a high level of turnover due to unusual hours, high expectations, and a lot of part-timers competing for a relatively small number of full-time positions.

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
