Pros

Great environment. The people you work with at Apple are some of the top people in their fields. You meet extreme use of collaboration amongst teammates and others outiside of your team. Training is amazing. They really want their employees to excel and give them the right tools to do so. The key is taking he initiative to want to learn and improve. I leaned more about business and marketing than I did in my two colleges that I attended.

Cons

Work/life balance is hard. Because Apple always excels to be the best at things, they really push their employees. Sometimes to the point where working overtime or stress levels start to rise. It used to be that getting promoted was easy when I first worked there. Then after the iPhone Apple grew so big. Apple tries to promote from within but it is extremely competitive compared to the past to get an open position.

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
