Pros

Prestige, cool products, young employees make it more bearable. The pay is pretty good, they have unlimited resources and drop cash like you wouldn't believe.

Cons

Excessive work hours; I'm talking sixty hours a week minimum. Prepare to give up your hobbies and free time. Often find my job is switching from project to project with a lack of focus. Too political between groups and within the group at times. Some people have an "Apple attitude," I'll just leave it at that. Normal "alertness" is total and complete panic.

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
