Pros: Get to work on technology that is used by so many people. It's a very exciting place to work. The Steve Jobs keynote presentations are as close to 'rock star' as an engineer is ever going to get.

Cons: The company does not encourage innovation from within. If an idea doesn't come from Steve Jobs, it's not worth looking into. Vacation is weak. You start with 12 days of time off, with a week shutdown at Christmas. You must be there for three years before you begin to accrue 15 days of vacation a year. For a company that is basically printing money in Cupertino and making a ton of profit, the fact that there is no profit sharing is a very glaring flaw.

Pros: - Good pay and benefits - Collaborate with many smart and capable people - Work is challenging (in a good way)

Cons: - Happiness is very dependent on team (mine is great). - The company is stuck in the past with respect to remote work. - Functional group silos make sustainable knowledge sharing difficult outside of your team. - Such a large, historical codebase means things can change slowly, if at all.

Pros: Yeah, it is a good job.

Cons: Yeah, it was hard working.
