Pros

I've worked at 5 Fortune 100 Companies, Apple is the best...very focused, very lean You will work hard and your resume will be the bomb I am constantly in meetings where i am the dumbest guy in the room This is the most efficiently run company on the planet, buy and hold the stock, This is company has an incredible work ethic Nobody will keep up with Apple over the long run, except maybe Google, and that is just a maybe Steve Jobs is the Thomas Edison of this century You can find a cool spouse here You will be pushed toward excellence beyond your current abilities Video games and beer bashes...it is kinda like you never left university Your kids, parents, and friends will think you are cool Lot's to be proud about here Best corporate cafeteria on the planet

Cons

Total Comp less than expected, but offset by the stock, it will continue to grow 30% a year Not big on training or rotational programs...more like sink or swim

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
