Pros

Great brand and marketing. Cool products. Beer bashes are fun if you have time to get there.

Cons

Steve makes almost all decisions, big or small, irrespective of others opinions and thoughts. Very unforgiving. Mistakes, big or small, are not tolerated. Compensation is average at best. Benefits are mediocre for a company this size and profitable. Too many contractors that don't share the same pride for the work. Internal secrecy and lack of process makes things chaotic and thus you are always scrambling to meet deadlines. Work-life balance can be a major problem, you are always taking home work.

Pros

Groundbreaking technology; fabulous products; excellent salary and benefits; high-pressure but exciting corporate culture; products are developed by teams, so each employee has a chance to contribute to making the product better; generally can get the resources and support needed for essential work on products; visionary leadership.

Cons

High expectations; at times, very great schedule pressure if your work is part of a new product; sometimes difficult to get upper management to respect needs for balance between work and the rest of one's life.

Pros

There is no dress code, you can wear jeans and t-shirts and flip flops every day. Even my manager does this. Each employee is given a free apple every day by the cafeteria. This is the health plan for the temporary employees, which is more than what most companies offer to their temporary employees. There are frequent keg parties and off-site parties for various departments, and I am told by the permanent employees that they are very fun. So if you'd like a permanent job, that would be a perk. Also, you get a very shiny Mac to use at your desk.

Cons

You have to use a Mac, not a PC. There is no right click button on the mouse, so you have to do a lot more work to get the same result a lot of times. The lack of dress code means some people come to work straight from the gym, so it can get a little smelly in the afternoons. And it is very very hard to keep your Mac shiny and pretty, especially when you have been kicking it all day for freezing every time you try to save something in Excel. Fortunately, the company does provide cleaners for this purpose.
