Pros

Everyone I work with is very good at what they do.

Cons

Management hoards the important work, decision making and pay. Internally, Apple is so secretive that often really critical communications never occur internally and people just then make up their own information. Ambiguity and lack of documented processes is rampant. It is truly a test of self confidence to work here. If you doubt yourself within the politics and ambiguity you can drive yourself crazy.

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
