Pros

- lots of smart and really passionate people to work with, you will be challenged - most teams are small and the work you do will have an impact on the product that you are working on

Cons

- compensation and benefits are less than other similar companies in the area - long death marches to the final release or major milestone, expect to work late nights and weekends for several months before a product is shipped or before a conference

Pros

The work is cutting-edge, fast paced and interesting, my colleagues are enthusiastic and capable and management is really excellent: mentors and leaders, not tyrants or bureaucrats. I noticed the difference in morale immediately when I first walked into the company. People looked relaxed and like they were having fun. Contrast with some of my previous companies where people were walking around with frozen faces or hunched over in cubicles; the atmosphere was like a labor camp. Give credit to the management at Apple: this high morale doesn't happen by accident. Managers here respect the engineers, and help them to get the job done. Questions are encouraged and ideas are rewarded. I've worked for enlightened managers in good teams in previous companies, but it never seemed to last: they lost out in the unending political infighting and they were soon replaced or their projects were disbanded. Here I see the exact opposite.

Cons

It makes me regret not having come here much earlier.

Pros

The pinnacle of technology, working in the Apple Store gives you the opportunity to be the face of one of the most talked about companies. There are plenty of opportunities for advancement within Apple Retail should you decide to go down that path. Show them your strengths and they'll move you to where you need to be within the store. Apple Retail corporate's senior management is supurb.

Cons

Not the best at motivating those with goals outside of working in retail, however that is to be expected. While it is a "retail revolution" it cannot escape the fact that it is, indeed, retail. The downsides are thus everything typical of any other retail job.
