      Passionate people, awesome products, great technology. Needs better work/life balance.

      Pros

      Passionate people, awesome products, great technology. Things aren't always done by the book, but things get done. There aren't strong guidelines in terms of procedure, just make it work.

      Cons

      Maniacal dictator leadership. Not particularly good at promoting a strong balance between work and personal life. Expectations (unspoken, of course) of a 50, 60, 70 hour work week are not unusual.

      Pros

      Keeps you on your toes, always improving. Great HR services.

      Cons

      Can be competitive at times, and everyone is very busy... almost too busy.

      You won't be the smartest kid in class

      Pros

      Apple hires very well; your coworkers will be extremely talented and smart. You can learn a lot, fast, and you have the satisfaction of working for one of the best loved brands in the world. Too, the employee perks are good and getting better, albeit under pressure from GOOG.

      Cons

      It is a personality driven organization, and only those personalities that match the screaming tantrum thrower at the top seem to get ahead. The secrecy is beyond fastidious and is in fact insultingly petty and political, and often is an impediment to actually getting one's work done. Communication is not a skill that is prized or rewarded and thus is naturally underdeveloped to the point of atrophy. We're remunerated well, but not as well as perhaps we might be.
