Apple can be exciting to work for, but it's a rough ride. Not for the faint-hearted

Pros

Everyone knows where you work, and they think it's awesome. You get to play with all of the latest software and toys, and work for one of the most profitable companies in the world.

Cons

Apple is very secretive. It can be difficult to know what's going on ahead of time, and then all of a sudden, you need to shift and adapt. Schedules are very rough and change a lot. Releases and crunch time seem omnipresent. It can be overwhelming.

If your strengths do not include constant adaptation to continuous change, then Apple will frustrate you.

Advice to Management

Trust your employees more than you do with company secret information. Things would run a lot smoother.
