Pros

* Work life balance is pretty good. * Compensation good but not the best at least in the bay area. * You have Apple on your resume

Cons

* Politics. * Their secrecy culture. You can't talk to anyone about anything even within the company you may not know who has the appropriate disclosure. No public speaking or open source development opportunities because of this culture. * Despite being the wealthiest company in the world, they are very cheap and penny pinch everything. * Misguided focus and direction on unimportant, noncritical initiatives by management in AIS * Career path and progression within AIS is severely lacking.

Pros

Work with game developers to bring their games to Apple Platforms. I get to work with all the technology that goes into games and make games feel native.

Cons

Sometimes work projects build up.

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
