Pros

The company attracts bright, thoughtful, funny, upbeat people. The products the company offers meet the needs of a diverse and large number of people. The services the company provides offer good to excellent values to its customers.

Cons

Apple banks on its hip appeal to the extent that it doesn't offer the most equitable compensation in exchange for the work performed. It seems to pay lip service to one value it says it holds dear, the importance of its human resources. It can be difficult for career advancement.

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
