Pros

Looks fantastic on a resume, especially if you stick with it for a few years. I've learned an incredible amount from the talented people I work with - Apple hires the best of the best, so if you want a good place to get started, this is it!

Cons

Very difficult to advance, especially in an economy where they can hire whoever they want at whatever position they want, even if that person is vastly overqualified. Things also change on a minute to minute basis, so if you want to know what you'll be doing going in to work every day, this is not for you!

Pros

Good colleagues, supportive team environment, strong engineering culture, and good opportunities to learn and grow technically.

Cons

A fast-paced work environment can sometimes create high pressure, priorities may shift frequently, and work-life balance can be challenging during peak project cycles.

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
