      Pros

      Friendly relaxed culture Good benefits Great work environment Gift Thanksgiving and Christmas week

      Cons

      Compensation is below market's average for the base salary. Bonuses and stock options are very low unless you are in software development Very slow decision-making process that can be frustrating With so much money in the bank, Apple could have done better with benefits and bonuses/stock options. Company is far behind from FB and Google. Annual review process is poorly organized (ratings are not reviewed by the upper management) Substantial effort duplication that leads to turf conflicts among different groups Advancement is difficult and is not always accompanied by compensation adjustment

      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
