Pros

The discounts and medical benefits mainly. Working with technology and meeting interesting people helped kill time.

Cons

Management incessantly lying and taking credit for all the hard work the employees do. Even though I was promoted several times, most promotions were due to favoritism instead of people actually doing any work. Incompetent people that didn't know anything about Apple and the products kept getting hired (especially for management). It turned into a car dealership environment.

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
