      Not worth your time and talent

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Relatively good benefits for full time employees. Salary is OK, not great - definitely not proportional to the unstated amount of physical labor one endures on the job.

      Cons

      They will suck you dry: - no respect for your time - must work on godforsaken hours, ex. 1:30 to 10:30PM with no weekends off - must stand ALL day long - majority of other Geniuses have joint problems - no balance between respect for employee professional needs and need to satisfy customers - most of the time "bad" customers are rewarded for tantrums and the like, often at the expense of employee's time, effort, and dignity - very little potential for professional development - you're better off investing a year or two developing your coding and network skills and working for an IT company

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I've worked at 5 Fortune 100 Companies, Apple is the best...very focused, very lean You will work hard and your resume will be the bomb I am constantly in meetings where i am the dumbest guy in the room This is the most efficiently run company on the planet, buy and hold the stock, This is company has an incredible work ethic Nobody will keep up with Apple over the long run, except maybe Google, and that is just a maybe Steve Jobs is the Thomas Edison of this century You can find a cool spouse here You will be pushed toward excellence beyond your current abilities Video games and beer bashes...it is kinda like you never left university Your kids, parents, and friends will think you are cool Lot's to be proud about here Best corporate cafeteria on the planet

      Cons

      Total Comp less than expected, but offset by the stock, it will continue to grow 30% a year Not big on training or rotational programs...more like sink or swim

      Like any other big company

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Nice perks - Super casual dress code - Really nice people and interpersonal culture - Can actually take accrued vacation without anyone complaining - Stock has been doing very well - Heavy marketing means you can impress everyone when you say where you work.

      Cons

      - Lots of weird managerial politics - Endless meetings to get anything done - Ridiculous amount of secrecy causes animosity between different teams and makes it take forever to get anything done unless it's high priority or "for Steve". - Waaayyyyy understaffed for software engineering in most departments, prepare to work lots of overtime. - Some senior engineers have been around for 20 or 30 years, no matter how out of touch they may be, they'll have a significant say in projects tangentially related to them. - Corollary: Don't be young. - Software engineering culture is fad driven (and we're talking weird Apple-only fads like GCD) on the desktop, rushed and buggy on embedded.
