Pros

- Good benefit package - Discount on Apple products

Cons

- Unprofessional and inefficient middle management - Old mindset and technology - Not innovative in the software stack - Not much flexibility to grow - Apple is behind in cutting-edge technologies - The cult-like culture of secrecy reduces the efficiency - Also, there is no free snack or food and the working environment looks like a hospital than a tech company (except the Apple Park which is exclusive to certain teams)

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
