      Pros

      For a technology junkie it's a serious daily fix. Given tremendous amounts of responsibility and anonymity, far beyond any normal retail positions. Typically, compensation can be extremely good, but make sure you negotiate very well. For some reason people seem impressed when you say you work for Apple!

      Cons

      Serious Reality Deficit. Disfunctional internal workings for just about everything everything. The company is so concerned about outward impressions that it's impact on internal function is detrimental. No clear (or unclear) development paths within the company. A highly clique oriented / playing politics type company.

      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
