      Pros

      The product, the people, the prestige and the stock options. Not necessarily in that order. Apple is a very rewarding place to work, in both career & financial terms.

      Cons

      In some groups, work-life balance is non-existent. Working weekends for months on end is considered part of the job, and the attitude is, if you don't like your job, there are plenty out there who would take it. However, that isn't quite true because we've been having trouble getting quality interviewees for a while now.

      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
