Pros

Above average pay and perks. Decent personal discount on Apple devices

Cons

Very secretive even when it comes to project you are working on. Making it hard to communicate cross functionally. Extremely over crowded, you get invited to meeting that requires driving but when you get there, it's impossible to find parking. Very few team uses web conference making your life very difficult. Overpriced cafe food, most of the items are $9 and some are creeping towards $10~$12. There's no reason to choose cafe over local restaurants since you paid about the same and not particularly convenient. Only selected team gets to go to Apple Campus 2 (Apple Park), and you quickly realize that your team is considered 2nd class citizen because you are not working on flashy features. Help is getting harder and harder to find, because of how expensive Cupertino is getting, and Apple is making it worse, because they continue to build high density housing without invest a single dime to housing. With hiring taking longer, most management rather settle with lower quality hire and getting the rack filled quickly. Which is very disrupted to current work and projects. CEO only fight for causes that'd get him national attention so he can make headline. In reality he doesn't care about any of this. It clearly shows when the company provided zero benefit to local community compares to local tech giant.

Pros

Job security! The people you work with are some of the best you ever will work with. So much talent. So much talent that I've seen become victims to managers who dont want to help take that extra step in their development. Pay is good for a retail standpoint, but for being in the tech field and having to deal with data loss and customers who are entitled... i would say at least we could get a lil more.

Cons

Only a t-shirt for christmas??? No bonuses?? Apple is always wanting you to do more with less... no more money. Apple thrives off of this chatoic atmosphere, and it gets old real fast. I felt like i was a swap monkey and pickup up monkey (for peoples finished repair retrieval). Apple's training was innovative 7 yrs ago, now you can go to another company and get the same thing. Dont be fooled by the in store career experiences either. They'll make you bust your __ and go with someone else when the job becomes available. I alway felt like i was giving, and not receiving anything...had to bounce!!! #deuces
