Pros: Exciting environment, multinational and respectful. Continuous learning. You can make an impact.

Cons: Same as every corporation, inflexible and old-fashioned in some areas, like performance reviews and actual meritocracy.

Pros: - Smart co-workers - Always something new. - Benefits rock. - It's Apple: Smart, savvy, passionate people who care about their products. - Stock grants.

Cons: - Sadly, not a lot of salary growth past hiring. - They prefer stock grants to raises beyond inflation adjustment. - Large, organic organization. - Things have improved, but there are lots of silos to protect from leaks. - Sometimes that means the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. - The people at the top do, but you're a bit of a mushroom. - Ever-growing middle management. - More departmental politics than there used to be.

Pros: Work as a vendor. Not much responsibility with a good pay rate.

Cons: Not much responsibility and no benefit.
