“Apple” is great. Apple, Inc. is ok.
Pros: Great benefits. Fair pay. Wonderfully diverse culture. Good bonuses.
Cons: Typical corporate bureaucracy. Advancement is RARELY based on merit and experience. The constant drive for new talent is present in all positions so it is FAR more likely that someone from outside the org will end up your boss than someone whose been promoted. Or it will be someone internal but was transferred from another department. Individual achievements are not recognized. Your success is Apple’s success so know that you are a small cog in a big machine that won’t miss you when you leave. Apple will engulf every aspect of your life. More relatives will call you asking for help with their products than relatives would call you if you won the lottery.
