great salary, terrible day-to-day

Pros

Great salary and very little work. I was given work that I could complete in about 4 hours/week, yet paid for 40. I constantly asked for more responsibility and more projects, but it was never granted. Unfortunately it left me feeling like I was being paid to sit on my hands.

Cons

Highly demoralizing atmosphere. Everyone I knew and worked with was deeply depressed. There was virtually no room for advancement (though I got great reviews and salary/stock bumps each year). Everyone is so scared of the senior management and middle mgmt is terrified to take risks.

Pros

-Competitive pay -Good Benefits -Stock Plan -Employee Discount -You get to work from home which has certain perks

Cons

-Shift bids happen every 6 months which leaves a very long time to be stuck with a schedule that is not conducive to your home life. - Frequent Team Manager changes which can be frustrating as each one has certain ways they like things done. This means that tools or skills that one manager coaches you to use, the next one may coach against it based on their personal preference. -You WILL work at least one weekend day and just about every Holiday -The shift bid process is antiquated and leaves minimal room for flexibility. -You will start to feel very isolated if you get placed on a team with a Team Manager is who doesn't check in or promotes inactivity in the Team Chat Room. -Be prepared to get emails from the CEO about Apple's political stance on certain things and then be even more prepared for the customers to contact you about things that are beyond your control so you can be the verbal punching bag

Pros

Building Great Products is highly motivating.

Cons

Not as many perks as there should be. For instance, Meals for working late are limited and very inconvenient. Apple tends to be very cheap about certain perks. Open offices in Apple Park are terrible.
