Pros

It's Apple! No matter who you tell, everyone will always be impressed that you work for the company that makes the iPhone. The benefits are great, and the environment is very driven towards ambitious people who are serious about their work.

Cons

The job was kind of annoying. Working at home was cool, but it really disconnected me from a social life of any kind. Doing telephone tech support is also a frustrating job in general, working with people who aren't very tech savvy. Anything new is TOP SECRET -- and you will never know about a product release until the day it is announced with the rest of the world.

Pros

Good colleagues, supportive team environment, strong engineering culture, and good opportunities to learn and grow technically.

Cons

A fast-paced work environment can sometimes create high pressure, priorities may shift frequently, and work-life balance can be challenging during peak project cycles.

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
