Pros

- The cafe is amazing, even if it's not free. - Great equipment - standup/sit-down desk, machines for testing. - Smart co-workers who care about their job. No slackers. - Shuttle buses for transportation. - Bonuses for job well done.

Cons

- Meetings where you could cut the tension with a knife. - Profanity is okay at any time. - More work than can be done in a 40 hour work week. - If you're a woman and work in engineering, but you're not a programmer, be prepared to be lonely. - If you don't respond to emails received on nights and weekends, you're left behind. - Arrogant company culture. They expect you to treat your job like you're employee #10 in a start-up. - No work/life balance. - Dysfunctionally secretive. Little to no guidance to new employees. - Co-workers pass you in the hallway and don't acknowledge your existence. If you enjoy a competitive work environment where meetings get tense, and the company takes itself very seriously, with long hours, then you'll be okay.

Pros

Salary was really good, but it took me some time to see that money won't buy happiness and contentment.

Cons

Management is horrific and utterly unprofessional Employees are not being taken care of (I worked every(!!!) single weekend for over one year, plus late shifts for 4 months consecutively) Employees are treated as cash cows (see above) No loyalty whatsoever Two of my managers threatened me with termination for no decent reason and told me my leisure time would get hold off my job which needed to be talked about (WTF) Area managers somewhat unprofessional and narrow minded Career opportunities only given when crawling into other manager's backside. ... This list is actually barely exhaustive.

Pros

– Great salary – Good name for the resume – Semi-decent discounts on Apple products – Special concerts by great artists during summer Beer Bash

Cons

– Very poor leadership – Work w/ a wide range of people: from ex-agency folks who are sharp to 50 year old parents who want the salary and stock but not the hours – Work within creative and strategic constraints (thinking outside the box is discouraged) – No accountability from leadership down – Flat organization which prevents a lot of growth – Recruiting is sharp and well-trained in pitching the job, etc. – Easier to get into Apple then to leave (no exit interview, no benefit reviews, shuts off cell service, etc.) – Too much gray. – Operations (process and response time) is hit and miss from IS&T to HR – Very impersonal because it is so large. Each department has their own internal intranet site and emails and hotlines. The in-person HR lead knowledge is inconsistent to the hotline.
