Pros

Remuneration is above par and great value in the stocks Brand name recognition, you will see several dozens of InMails on LinkedIn just because you work for Apple! Benefits are excellent as far as medical is concerned, 401k not so good for a new hire, but it builds up, vacation also builds up in couple of years

Cons

No Work-life balance. Most employees slog, I think the mantra is to extract as much as possible out of the well paid employee. Vendors/contractors are abused with heavy work load because everyone knows in US the H1B visa status is essentially slavery.

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
