Pros

Very inclusive, employ great people so you get to work with a bunch of happy, positive, outgoing people.

Cons

The expectations of the job are very high, but pay is less than you would get paid at LiDL. Apple are very good at screwing down costs, and employees are simply a cost of sale, so they pay the minimum they can get away with. You don't get told what the pay is before you apply, or during the interview process, so by the time you get the offer you're already emotionally committed. On the plus side, they've started increasing the share options, so overall compensation has improved.

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
