Experience level: Confirmed

One of the best companies you can work for, if you get the chance.
Pros: Great work environment. Growth focused.  If you want to become a overall better person they provide the tools and guidance.  Work hard, play hard mentality.   Getting in at Apple isn't easy so it helps to know someone and they refer you.  Some of the best leaders around work there, but not all leaders share the same vision.  Work/life balance is very important to them and they give you lots of time to take off.  Employee purchase plan is also nice, but could be better.  Overall I had one of the best working experiences with this company.
Cons: Not the most autonomy, although the managers try their best to convince you.  Extremely competitive to move up, can become political.  I've heard pay has improved although it definitely could have been more competitive for the work and the results.  Depending on what market you are located in, there can be an extreme push for results.
