You're surrounded by the best in your industry, and given Apple's high standards there's always pressure to perform at the top of your game.
Describing it as a stressful place to work may be an understatement.

Based on hundreds of reviews on Glassdoor and a few Quora posts written by former employees, it sounds like Apple treats its employees extremely well.

The biggest perk of working at Apple, at least based on the number of reviews that mentioned it, is a feeling that your work really matters and has an impact on the world. We saw this point made in dozens of reviews from current and former Apple employees from departments throughout the company.
One former Apple employee wrote that creating "innovative products" and taking part in developing new product categories were among the most rewarding things about the job.
"This is a great opportunity to work with some really fantastic, dedicated people, who genuinely want to use technology to make the world a better place," another anonymous current employee wrote.

Almost every review on Glassdoor mentions how amazing the company culture is at Apple. Co-workers and the excellent work environment at Apple are constantly listed in the "Pros" section of Apple employee reviews. One current employee specifically said everything at Apple is about teamwork.
