Pros

The food at the multiple distributed cafeterias and coffee bars is awesome. Who could imagine, two to three choices of fish every day! A few open atrium casual talking and work areas are quite nice as well.

Cons

Virtually no social interaction with Apple employees. Total exclusion from the physical work areas of employees. Absolutely no effort on the part of the management and employees to make you feel like you are a part of a team effort. Almost no opportunities to feed suggestions upward/back to employees. Locked in a room with other contractors who have nothing in common with your work.

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
