Pros

working with amazing talent and congenial people. Getting to help people on a daily basis. Free Water Bottle for Christmas*. (*warning - may represent ironic suggestion that Apple rewards its hard working employees with embarrassing and insulting "gestures" from time to time)

Cons

Far too many middle Managers. Middle Management are horrendously under skilled and over arrogant and micromanage to insanely frustrating levels of absurdness. Staff treated like children. Petty issues magnified out of all proportions whilst important and meaningful issues are ignored. Almost no career progression for the vast majority of employees. Less than adequate pay. Free Water Bottle For Christmas!!

Pros

Name recognition, beautiful products millions of people use. It's not often you can tell people in any country what you do and they all know what you're talking about. Tremendous learning experience—probably a great thing to have on the resume, too.

Cons

Incredibly stingy for such a high-value company. Below-market compensation because of the desirability of the brand. Will let you work yourself to death—work/life balance is abysmal. Too much work and not enough people—unless you repeatedly raise a red flag or leave, they will never give you more people and will try to take some away to work on new initiatives. The commute is horrific.

Pros

Other than the name of the company, working at Apple wasn't really rewarding.

Cons

The ancillary departments such as Customer Support do not have really good caliber management or people working there. The management has been there for well over a decade so it's very stagnant.
