Good place to work, but hard to switch between departments

Pros: Great company, interesting work, smart people.
Cons: The only thing I didn't like was that if you are tired of working in a place and try to look for opportunities within the company, you have to tell your manager before engaging an interview. Remember, the internal interview is not any easier than an external one.

Pros: You get to see your work come to fruition.
Cons: Apple is not a great place to grow as a software engineer. Our practices are a decade behind Google, Facebook, Netflix, etc. The quality is poor. We have a long way to go.
Also, work-life balance is terrible if you work on a customer-facing product.
