Pros

I'm proud to work at Apple. It has very high visibility, wonderful products, great and hard working employees, and a friendly atmosphere.

Cons

The hours are simply too long. There is no work-life balance. You will be expected to be on call at all times of the day, including weekends. Management forgets deadlines, creating a trickle down effect and time-crunch. Overall strategic planning is not a strength. Consider it this way: take your salary and divide by half (since you will be working essentially 2 jobs during an 80-100 hour week).

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
