Pros

The mission, the passion, the chance to work with the most remarkable people in the world. The people factor is the single biggest reason to work at Apple, they are without peer and some of the most intelligent and creative folks on the planet. Aside from the culture and history, it's the biggest reason why I still love going to work every day.

Cons

Lack of process in certain areas, high pressure environment, long hours. All offset by the best reasons to work for Apple. Some areas of the business don't feel world class in terms of operations, feel sometimes like we are still operating as we did when we were a MUCH smaller company in the late 80's or early 90's.

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
