An Incredible Company
Pros: Apple's company culture is like no other. As an employee, I always felt like I was working toward something greater than myself. Our technology changes lives and I experienced it first-hand. On multiple occasions I taught customers how to use their technology to connect with others whether that was through FaceTime or through using VoiceOver to type an iMessage. What I did mattered and really made a difference. It's hard to find that in other companies.
Cons: Apple requires that you give your 100% every single moment of your work day. - it's not easy. Because you're working so hard, it's easy to become tired. Apple offers great benefits, especially for vacation and sick leave. You have to take advantage of this, though. A lot of my co-workers would never take a day off. You need that time to refresh and renew. When people don't use the time they have, it is very easy to become bitter and frustrated.
