Pros

It is still a big time, name brand company with a lot of international recognition. Apple is also continues to ride a huge amount of hype and (relatively speaking) recent business success. The stock options also made many of us multi-millionaires over a short period of time. A number of internal processes, the culture, and the people are also quite unique to Apple, and from a diversity of experience point of view, that's great exposure for one's career.

Cons

There are an unusually high number of individuals at Apple (both management and individual contributors, at various levels), who would clearly NOT be successful at any other company or period of time. But that's not the problem. The problem is that many of those individuals genuinely believe in their own talent, capabilities, and accomplishments and make ridiculous decisions based off these fundamental dillusions. Bozo cancer has also reached Stage III levels.

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
