Good place but can trap you

Pros

Great pay, benefits, and work environment.

Cons

If you have greater aspirations and dreams, it gets easy to lose sight of them since the job is very good. I know many people who end up working there for 3, 5, and even 10 years, who had dreams of being an actor or lawyer but just got comfortable in the pay and benefits and couldn't just leave. It's like you get just enough to live so you have to keep working, but it's not enough to justify risking for something that might not even happen. Don't get me wrong, it's a great job, a lot of people stay because they are content and like it. And if you want to work at Apple and climb up the ranks it is possible and encouraged. However, if you think that you'll work here for a couple months as a pit stop on the road to your goal, be careful because it can suck you in. Every person and situation is different, but I've seen this same thing far too much, and I almost fell victim to it myself.

Work-Work Balance

Pros

Other than the complete lack of a life in the balance, working for Apple is great. The pay, bonuses, benefits, and perks are awesome. The opportunities for career growth and personal growth are near infinite. You will be pushed to and beyond your limits regularly, you will grow as a person and in your skills, and you will do some very cool things at Apple-you just will also not have have the time to sleep, eat, do your laundry, take care of your cat/dog, see your family, or have a social life out side of the weekends.

Cons

There is no time for life at at Apple, only work. If you enjoy what you do, and don't have obligations or passion outside of your work, this is the place for you. I do like what I do, but I have always thought that a person should work to live, not live to work.
