Pros
The best reason to work for AAPL is the stock, the street cred after the fact, the discounts and occasional free iPod/iPhone, and meeting customers who love the product. Benefits if you survive the bureaucratic gauntlet to FT
Cons
Choke hold on company transparency. Conflicting must-do requirements from managers who have less technical knowledge than they advertise. Pay is retail, not tech company. Reality distortion field requires brain bleach Kool-Aid Working at Apple destroyed my love for it as a company. Misrepresenting company policies to customers. Essentially, AAPL puts as much effort into pretending it is a flawless company as it should into being honest and forward to customers.
