Apple is a great place to work if you care about what you do and don't mind potentially keeping it a secret

Pros

Producing products of good quality and refinement that make technology accessible to even non-techies. It's a thrill to walk into an Apple retail store and see all the smiles. In general, people care about the work they do. It's not just a zombie 9-to-5 job; it's a place where you can really take pride in the end product, assuming it's not canceled.

Cons

It's a secret. I can't tell you.

Also, slightly lower pay relative to other high-tech companies. Benefits are average.

The main campus is overcrowded and a tourist attraction. Hiring has skyrocketed and kinda makes you think about the quality of those being hired (no evidence, just makes one think about it).

Advice to Management

Don't be so paranoid.

Profit sharing, anyone?

When's that second campus coming?
