NPI Program Manager with direct reports
Pros: Hard to find a place taking on more aggressive challenges and actually delivering on them.  The work is intellectually engaging and the personal accountability is extremely high. 
Extremely collaborative and team oriented work environment. 
The products are simply world class. 
Many perks due to the company’s largess: bus service, discounts, high degree of luxury in the workplace, esp. at Apple Park.
Cons: The job does not sleep. If you are in product operations, you are always on in one way or another (calls w/ suppliers in Asia, exec reviews, preparation for exec reviews). This is the culture and the way of life at Apple. Hard for employees in some stages of life to balance work and home commitments. Not much improvement in this respect over 4 years, despite the problem being well known by the leadership.
