Pros

I get to work on the coolest projects and have a had in the future of technology. When I tell people I work at Apple, they know and respect the company. They get excited and ask questions. My coworkers are smart and driven. There is a lot of autonomy, and with that, responsibility.

Cons

The level of secrecy, while nothing compared to government secrets, is a huge impediment to getting work done. You aren't given the freedom to just go ask the most knowledgeable employee on a particular subject for advice if that employee has not be "disclosed" on a project.

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
