Large organization; Some very good people, some not so good; Management and culture doesn't distinguish between the two.

Business Outlook

Pros

For projects that Apple upper management has its eyes on, quality is given high priority. Teams on those projects are also often very good, with smart and experienced people with whom it's fun to work and from whom one can learn at lot.

Cons

It's a big place, and there are sometimes inefficiencies due to the number of people involved with a project. There is a significant amount of politics involved with promotions and a significant amount of empire-building, with teams growing unnecessarily to bolster the team managements' prestige. Projects that are not visible to upper management suffer from quality problems typical of any organization, but everyone is very confident about the superiority of their work regardless of their actual performance and the actual quality of what they produce. Arrogance is rampant and encouraged by management and the corporate culture.

High profile, high intensity work, incredible opportunity to learn, but it can be very demanding

Business Outlook

Pros

Quite simply, you make some of the best and most talked about products in the world. Superb upper management, and a great place to learn and develop. Culture is very diverse, and you work with some absolutely brilliant people. Ultimately, you go home everyday knowing you work for a company whose products really get people excited.

Cons

Slightly older demographic, Low churn rate can make it hard to rise quickly. Most large scale design and strategy decisions are left entirely out of the hands of engineers, which can be frustrating. Aggressive culture can be off-putting to some. Work-life balance can get out of whack after high profile deadlines.
