Pros

Some people and teams are good but most of the people are selfish and will throw you under the bus for their benefit

Cons

Horrible place to work! Company has typical Corporate greed mindset. People are promoted based on Apple polishing skills and not on merit.

Pros

Unlimited growth opportunities and the ability to experience things in many states and countries. Great salary for management.

Cons

They layoff factory workers during the 3rd quarter so that the number are good and the stock holders are happy...and senior mgmt can get their bonuses. Then they hire new workers in Jan and Feb of the following year so that production can be completed.
