Pros

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT environment to work in (unless you work in AppleCare). Positive Management, talented engineering, very talented people working in Cupertino and Austin. If your job is outside the call center it is a GREAT place to work.

Cons

Upward mobility just isn't there and if it is it isn't based on talent. Don't think you can work your way up, go get the skills, work somewhere else then come in at the position you want. Talented people tend to stagnate. Avoid working in the call center (AppleCare), it's a call center no different than the others: promotions are still customer service positions. Worked there 3 years only 11 promotions from inside the call center to outside of it, however hundreds of promotions to other customer service positions. If your a tech that wants to do help desk that is less technical and more customer service then the job is perfect! Got out of the call center after 3 years and a Ph.D Totally different company than in the call center.

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
