      Pros

      working with amazing talent and congenial people. Getting to help people on a daily basis. Free Water Bottle for Christmas*. (*warning - may represent ironic suggestion that Apple rewards its hard working employees with embarrassing and insulting "gestures" from time to time)

      Cons

      Far too many middle Managers. Middle Management are horrendously under skilled and over arrogant and micromanage to insanely frustrating levels of absurdness. Staff treated like children. Petty issues magnified out of all proportions whilst important and meaningful issues are ignored. Almost no career progression for the vast majority of employees. Less than adequate pay. Free Water Bottle For Christmas!!

      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
