Employment status: current

Great pay, smart people, high standards, but poor work-life balance, poor management, and lack of healthy culture
Pros: Highest paying employer in hardware by far. Mostly consists of smart and hardworking people, with very high standards for quality all around, which motivate you to work harder, more thoroughly, and think deeper than I ever have before. Apple also pushes you to learn how to be bold, demand highest quality in service and engineering work from coworkers and vendors, it promotes a culture of candid, instant feedback, and accountability. Working at Apple is fierce, can be militant like at times, but it will toughen you up and teach you a work ethic and approach of rigor likely unparalleled.
Cons: The demands for work load and quality are so high it can be extremely exhausting, stressful, and bad on your health and life outside of work. You are generally expect to not have a life outside of work during the work week. In some hardware groups you will be working until 10p-2am every night.
