Pros

Wonderful team that I worked with on the embedded firmware and QA side.

Lots of perks and team events to keep morale high.

Concerts in the quad and great company benefits.

Emphasis on hardware quality.

Cons

Since it's always growing, there are constant changes at the high level which propagate to the low level. I would love to see the company grow in software quality and stability. It's not easy for some folks to adjust to some of the rapid changes.

Advice to Management

Listen to what Steve Jobs said about maintaining skilled employees.

Top-level pass-downs are not always easy to digest and execute.

I love Apple and the team that I was in originally. The re-org changes need to be done more carefully, without impacting the current flow and, more importantly, their lives.

Having a forceful new manager call you in the middle of lunch to come back, only to find out that you are the only one who came while others ignored him, just doesn't sit well with re-orgs.
