      Pros

      no travel required apple pays $50/month for utilities good benefits/compensation all team members are really nice to chat with

      Cons

      no face time with upper management no one knows who you are no way to get your name out no mobility never meet anyone that you work with. you are stuck at home for the whole time. this could be seen as a pro for some folks who have prior commitments or would rather stay home than meet new people or teammates. stuck doing tech support for a good 5 years before management acknowledges you

      Ups and Downs; Overworked and Underpaid

      Engineering project manager intern
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There is an employee discount of 25% on Apple products and 10% on third-party accessories. The 25% discount can be used once every three years on laptops and computers, within-reasonable-quantities on accessories, and once a year on everything else (iPods, etc.) This discount does not apply to phones but you do get a 20% discount off AT&T. The cafeterias are good: They are reasonably priced, have many organic and vegan options, and use compostable containers and utensils. In addition, they host beer bashes every milestone or product launch, and other fun events.

      Cons

      The corporate culture for the engineers is to stay until at least dinner, with no overtime for salaried workers. The other con is the strange culture surrounding Steve Jobs. When he walks into and out of the cafeteria or around campus, the standard is to keep talking and ignore him, but discuss his health immediately after he is out of earshot. It seems as if the future of the company is uncertain and largely dependent on SJ's health and well-being.

      Not all it's cracked up to be

      Pros

      There is a certain recognition you receive when others hear you work for Apple with it being the high flyer in the industry. There is some flexibility in the hours as long as you get your work done.

      Cons

      Ivory tower management that tends to be in the way more than helping. They often make decisions that the people who do the work don't understand and hurts productivity. After cutting down benefits quite a bit during the lean years (mid 90's), has done nothing to bring any of them back now that we are making a killing.
