Pros

Cutting edge products, enormous global footprint, industry leader. Diverse team, some very talented like-minded individuals. Fast paced, skills-intensive, fosters personal growth. Excellent benefits compared to other full time retail.

Cons

Little to no recognition for exceeding expectations and taking on extra responsibilities; overwork and burnout are common, poor work/life balance, poor pay. Many incompetent colleagues, and salary does reflect personal performance compared to peers. Management is generally poor or inconsistent, lack communication, have little knowledge of products/technology, and push hard for numbers. Still glorified retail - angry entitled customers, overcrowded store, repetitious, cult-like atmosphere, retail schedule.

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
