      Apple is a great place to work, but salaries don't reflect the success the company has had in recent years.

      Pros

      You get to work alongside some of the brightest, most energetic people in the industry in an environment where creativity is encouraged. Apple really knows how to hire. You can feel proud of what your company does and the products it creates. You get the feeling of working for a startup within a large, established company.

      Cons

      Compensation is well below industry standard. No stock options unless you're management level or greater. Profit sharing is apparently non-existent. Even though the company is doing well, you don't get to take some of that success home with you. If you're not directly working on a major product, it's very easy to feel unappreciated.

      Great products, great engineers, good company growth, with expected growing pains

      Pros

      Apple makes high-quality products, both inside and out, in that they're considered good by both users and developers. Some aspects of our internals can be ugly, but there's a strong push companywide to create maintainable interfaces and implementations, even those for internal use. We're constantly pushing to create new & better ways of doing things, if no longer in a completely revolutionary manner (seems there just too much legacy software AND mindset out there now). Even so, that drive is present. We don't have all the perks of other high-profile companies, but hours are flexible, and a new shuttle service makes commuting quite pleasant. Apple is big enough that you can find a work & management environment that fits your temperament.

      Cons

      Management is extremely secretive, even internally, and it's only becoming more so. That said, I can see why looking at the marketplace. Apple's operating in a new world, and we can't just talk about what we're working on any more. Internal resource allocation is very stingy; it's hard to have enough equipment to work properly on multiple releases & test system-level things that sometimes require a 2nd machine of similar specs. Work level tends to go in a roller-coaster, with long crunches before releases, but that's typical for the industry, really. Overall project management seems to be declining in recent years, which is rather worrisome. I've been frustrated by some general communication problems in my department and difficulties making time for professional growth at the company, but it's something I could probably get past if I took more initiative in the matter. We are REALLY overcrowded and getting more so. Many people are doubled up in offices, the on-campus cafe is overloaded every day at lunchtime, and the new campus shows no signs of coming along.

      Pros

      Some of the best reasons to work for apple are the we have a fun laid back environment that still gets the job done and that people are great and diverse. The focus on customers is refreshing in a retail store. The leadership team is helpful and supportive.

      Cons

      One of the downsides of working for apple is that you never get any information before the public. I can understand why, but it can still be frustrating not to know.
