      Apple is not a magical place

      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.

      Make great product, have no life

      Materials manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      "Us against the world" mentality really brings a sense of family to the group that you work with. Working on bleeding edge products that you are sure to see in the mall, and on every news outlet Enjoy not only working on the product, but enjoy owning and using the products - actual pride in the product itself a casual and fun place to work for, very liberal and open-minded culture

      Cons

      No life/work balance Expectation of being on-call 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week No standing processes, manual paper report driven Need for constant non-value add communication required from management Very stressful work

      Great company, not so great management

      Mac specialist (apple store)
      Recommend
      CEO approval

      Pros

      It's great to work for the coolest and most important and influential tech company right now. It's crazy when you realize people will wait hours in line around the world just to buy a product your company sells

      Cons

      At the retail stores it can be difficult dealing with political garbage of moving up. Even worse sometimes the stores really do hire incompetent kids and you have to deal with their immaturity, lack of professionalism and overall lack of knowledge.
