      While Attracting Excellent People For Its Retail Operation, Apple Comes Up Short As A Place To Work

      Pros

      The company attracts bright, thoughtful, funny, upbeat people. The products the company offers meet the needs of a diverse and large number of people. The services the company provides offer good to excellent values to its customers.

      Cons

      Apple banks on its hip appeal to the extent that it doesn't offer the most equitable compensation in exchange for the work performed. It seems to pay lip service to one value it says it holds dear, the importance of its human resources. It can be difficult for career advancement.

      Pros

      discounts on products. if you want a job and your handicapped it is a good place to get one. Cafe and gym on campus locations.

      Cons

      If you are not in the cliche you will not go anywhere in company. Ran like a small company, lack of communication on basic knowledge every employee should know. Felt like it was ten years behind the time when you were suppose to be working in a cutting edge company.

      It's a job, not an identity

      Pros

      Smart people, good products, competence and focus in abundance. Certain pride you feel working there is warranted. Get to work on/with OS X all day every day.

      Cons

      You may find you're so flattered to be asked to join Apple, the "it" company of the moment, that you'll ignore the red flags. Does everyone talk about relentless work hours? Do they seem enthused? Happy? The power of the Idea of Apple is so strong that even rational engineers get lost in the meta. "Are you worthy to work at Apple?" is the unspoken question that permeates the atmosphere, inciting, especially in the newer hires, a manic desire to prove themselves. Its power is amplified by the state of the economy. Employees voluntarily give away large swaths of their time and life energy, essentially subsidizing a corporation that is quarter-to-quarter hoarding billions in cash. I can only speak for my small slice of the Apple pie, but I found it a tense, unfriendly place, with few glimpses of unguarded humanity.
