Pros: Professional, on time, nice, easy, organized.

Cons: Basically, I have no cons to provide.

Pros: There are always really great opportunities to work on neat products -- iPhone/OS. There are also really good discounts on Apple products.

Cons: There can be a lot of long hours. It's important to set limits for yourself, particularly if you have a family. Training in new technology is often lacking. And when it is provided, there is often no opportunity to use it without transferring to another team. In moving to other positions, it's important to be ENTHUSIASTIC about the job. I don't know whether that means doing somersaults across the floor -- but you can't just have the talent without showing enthusiasm. Still wish there were at least free drinks and maybe a complementary breakfast for early birds coming in to work. Some managers still haven't grasped the benefits of telecommuting.

Pros: It is still a big, name-brand company with a lot of international recognition. Apple also continues to ride a huge amount of hype and, relatively speaking, recent business success. The stock options also made many of us multi-millionaires over a short period of time. A number of internal processes, the culture, and the people are also quite unique to Apple. From a diversity of experience point of view, that's great exposure for one's career.

Cons: There are an unusually high number of individuals at Apple (both management and individual contributors, at various levels) who would clearly NOT be successful at any other company or period of time. But that's not the problem. The problem is that many of those individuals genuinely believe in their own talent, capabilities, and accomplishments and make ridiculous decisions based off these fundamental delusions. Bozo cancer has also reached Stage III levels.
