Pros

High pace, high energy, change is the norm. Working for a successful company is exillaratimg. Proud of what we do and how we do it. A strong identity, hence clear directions. Room to express yourself. Clever and motivated people. And my kids love the Apple T-shirts.

Cons

Very demanding, without time to step back and take some distance. As soon as any process or project reaches maturity, we change all over again and start from scratch. Hard to build on experience under such conditions. Tiring, to not say exhausting sometimes.

Good colleagues, supportive team environment, strong engineering culture, and good opportunities to learn and grow technically.

A fast-paced work environment can sometimes create high pressure, priorities may shift frequently, and work-life balance can be challenging during peak project cycles.

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
