Pros

Good salary, tech shuttles, opportunity to work at a a top company. It varies a lot team to team... On the right team with a supportive team, Apple can be a great place to learn, especially in product design.

Cons

Long hours, unhealthy work culture, poor diversity on engineering teams. If you're joining as a junior level engineer, be expected to do a lot of grunt work for a long time. Or to be stuck on a very myopic assignment. Lots of material testing and data processing. Not very much product design unless you can the trust of more senior engineers.

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
