Pros

Great team, very good atmosphere, excellent pay (including restricted stock), lots of benefits (e.g. subsidized lunch, stock purchase program, product purchase, health checks, pension fund, educational assistance), very flexible working times, can work at home partially. 30 days off / year, very flexible. Very good management. And of course it's the one-of-a-kind Apple!

Cons

From time to time extreme deadline pressure (80 hrs/week). Sometimes marketing makes strange decision which could be avoided by more involving engineering.

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
