Pros

Having the name on the resume is a big plus Surrounded by really smart people

Cons

Horrible culture where the only thing matters is Apple's bottom line. The company from top executives to HR department to the lowest rung on the totem pole do not have any respect for the individual. There's no such thing as work / life balance. No such thing as personal relationships. Any displayed friendliness I've encountered was fake...the second something went wrong, fingers started pointing. The people are super smart, but fierce competition turn them into robots where the only thing matters is personal gain (at the sacrifice of their own mental health and others).

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
