      Apple can be exciting to work for, but it's a rough ride. Not for the faint-hearted. - Senior Software Engineer Apple Employee Review

      Pros

      Everyone knows where you work and they think it's awesome. You get to play with all of the latest software and toys, and work for one of the most profitable companies in the world.

      Cons

      Apple is very secretive. It can be difficult to know what's going on ahead of time, and then all of the sudden, you need to shift and adapt. Schedules are very rough and change a lot. Releases, and crunch-time seems omni-present. It can be overwhelming. If your strengths do not include constant adaptation to continuous change, then Apple will frustrate you.

      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
