Pros

Good 401K, RSU. Ok on medical but not the best. Salary is also on the lower side on average. But everybody wants to join Apple because of their name. So company has an upper hand now. Once the beacon fades, the flock will leave because of the treatment.

Cons

Must be the stingiest company in the planet. Good to be money savvy, but it is too ridiculous to even describe. Never expected a multi-billion dollar company -- making 100K every 3 seconds -- looking for dirty savings upsets employees who are molded to believe that is ok! Work is purely execution driven. No scope for RnD. Management folks have big time attitude: "I dont take my paltry 12-days of vacation, so you should not". They dont care because everyone wants to get on to Apple so they dont bother about folks who are unhappy. Employees are "indirectly" expected to be wired all the time - no worklife balance.

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
