Pros

High quality products. Chock full of smart people. Excellent free shuttle service. Great food at reasonable prices. Most people think it's cool that you work at Apple. The spaceship is coming soon. You might end up in it.

Cons

Open seating for pretty much everyone below director. Mildly cultish. Despite "honest communication" being a primary value, it doesn't really happen. There is a lot hush-hush, especially about problems. Too much deference to management, especially with the run-up in stock price which leads to too much fear of asking the hard questions. Because hardware is the primary focus, there is a cultural lack of understanding about how software development works, which is almost universally frustrating to software engineers.

Pros

big company, hi tech start up... people will think that you are important as you work for APPLE . Impressive achievement on the CV even though ...

Cons

It is basically a BIG white call centre, handling calls with angry customers, awkward customers and so on... Customers will put lots of pressure on you as they think that because they bought an Apple device, they own all the rights to get a proper decent working device .... and they think that even being out of warranty they deserve to get a new device without any fusses as they bought an expensive device at first and the list goes on. Basically , just do psychological work , trying all the day round to make the customer not keen to send you a bad evaluation as it will impact your work performance ... just completely non sense at all and mentally exhausting without having even taken into board the Hierarchy which is just ludicrous as when you consult a SUPERIOR as so called, this one hasn't any clues whatsoever

Pros

The only pro are the benefits they provided.

Cons

Failed to adhere to their promise on fair and equal career opportunities as their hiring manager hires based on bias judgement. Many years of obvious feedbacks are never being reviewed nor addressed to. Only boot licker and beauty can progress far without any true abilities. Unfortunately, Singaporean will have extreme difficulty for career growth as they only hires Singaporean to increase their WP quota.
