Pros

high-tech, cool factor, tons of toys, shiny modern offices, young and mature crowd, quiet and safe neighborhood near plenty of good place to have lunch .

Cons

Boss was a good engineer who was promoted way to early so had NO people management skills whatsoever. I left after being tired of hearing him scream at us, including senior engineers he would get angry at when he was under stress. Boss was unable to manage any kind of stress even simple pressure coming from junior always nagging.

Pros

Super-sharp co-workers, prestige of the brand, nice campus and employee services, OK pay, lots of development opportunities for full-time employees.

Cons

I've worked as a contractor at a few Silicon Valley companies and was treated pretty much the same as staff employees. At Apple, that's not the case. They seem to make a point of differentiating between contract and FTE employees (badge only works certain hours, contractors excluded from events and small perks.) It feels petty when you can't attend team events that affect your work because you're on contract.

Pros

Great people, great products, overall a fantastic place to work. Pays well compared to retail elsewhere, and is a fun experience.

Cons

Very tiring if you work hard, still a lot of politics for retail. Change happens slowly and really only when initiated by corporate retail management.
