Pros

- Getting to work on the latest and greatest wireless gadgets - iPhone/iPads - Getting the opportunity to work on latest wireless technologies such as LTE, IMS, SIP - Opportunity to work with multiple groups of people - QA, dev, product/project management, external vendors, hardware, network operators - Being able to build products that people LOVE to use

Cons

- Work/life balance is not there - Apple doesn't necessarily groom their employees to learn a specific skillset, they will simply hire someone who already has the skillset - There is no one to help you out initially and it is extremely easy to get lost in all the confusion

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
