Just not that exciting
Pros: Decent work/life balance. Good perks. Good pay. Great people, lots of smart people.
Cons: Lots of people seem to love working at Apple. I can't say I understand why. To me, my job is boring. They don't value creativity or insight, they value carrying out the tasks that management sets for you. The company's priorities don't make a whole lot of sense, either, wrt to how resources are allocated. Micromanagement seems to be the norm. There doesn't seem to be a sense of urgency in some areas, while other areas are on the "death march" from release to release. Secrecy between teams is irritating and leads to less innovation and poorer quality.
