Pros

Meet lots of interesting people.

Cons

This review is of the very toxic IS&T department. Steer clear of this department. The environment is discriminatory... those who are most incompetent get promoted, while the brightest and most hardworking are demoted if they question long-standing traditions or processes. 90% of workers are on H1B visas straight from India. Work is sloppy and timelines are ridiculously fast. There is no focus on or appreciation of quality. The business units for which software is implemented are not seen as important. There is a spirit of secrecy and fear. The department needs a major overhaul in management which should come directly from Tim Cook. The atmosphere is downright disgusting.

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
