Overall rating: 5/5
Employment status: former

If you have to work for someone else, Apple's about as good as it gets.
Pros: At Apple, you have the chance to advance an industry.  The company leads the world in several fields, they actively seek continuous improvement in the  product, and it's very rare for technical workers to be led by non-technical managers.
Cons: The downside to working there is that there are still  a few of the people around who nearly ran Apple into the ground back in the Sculley/Spindler/Amelio days.   Fortunately though, they are few and far between.
