A discussion of all things Apple
Pros: Apple provides a unique work environment in that most coworkers are enthusiastic about the products directly relates to a great customer experience.  In my years there I have found that Apple looks out for customers first, unlike most retail chains.  They are dedicated to the consumer and dedicated to employees.  Management does their best to accommodate all people from all walks of life.  You are allowed to express your individuality within the walls of Apple
Cons: When looking to get promoted there are a lot of qualified applicants from within, not to mention the outside.  Highly competitive for advancement.  Other downsides include the air secrecy around product releases and what not.  While I understand Apple's desire to create a marketing buzz, as employees, we are immediately bombarded with questions about new products the moment they are announced when we in fact have no prior knowledge of them.
