Pros

It's Apple. The discounts are good (25%) and even part-time employees are entitled to a 401K, employee stock purchases, transit subsidiaries, free Apple stuff, like software. Along with a lot of 3rd party discounts. 3rd Party vendors will occasionally, like Bose, will visit the store to give a hand and provide lunch for all employees. It's a laid back environment most of the time, with the possibility of career advancement and of course having access to Apple recourses. And there is the occasional possibility of meeting a few celebrities and what not. It's all good stuff.

Cons

At times, a lot of foot traffic, a multitasker's home. Maybe some rude folks, but great for the most part.

Pros

stock options, reputation, prestige, close to my house

Cons

if you're not working on the hot product, such as iphone or ipod, you're nothing. bonus and profit sharing only go to director level.

Pros

The best reason to work for Apple is that you will get to see your products go to market almost every year. If you get a strong team that likes to follow process (and there aren't very many of these types of teams), then you will be happy. If you can still get stock options, you'll get a good return on your investment.

Cons

It is a completely dysfunctional organization with almost no memory of lessons learned. The products are very challenging to complete when given minimal time and subpar resources. If you're not in the iMac or iPhone groups, then count on being the last priority when it comes to resources.
