Pros

Remuneration is above par and great value in the stocks Brand name recognition, you will see several dozens of InMails on LinkedIn just because you work for Apple! Benefits are excellent as far as medical is concerned, 401k not so good for a new hire, but it builds up, vacation also builds up in couple of years

Cons

No Work-life balance. Most employees slog, I think the mantra is to extract as much as possible out of the well paid employee. Vendors/contractors are abused with heavy work load because everyone knows in US the H1B visa status is essentially slavery.

Pros

Flexibility, independence, amazing opportunity to work from home and not have someone constantly micromanaging you from behind

Cons

Low-pay, you will spend an abundance of your time helping people who aren't qualified to operate a calculator

Pros

Good 401K, RSU. Ok on medical but not the best. Salary is also on the lower side on average. But everybody wants to join Apple because of their name. So company has an upper hand now. Once the beacon fades, the flock will leave because of the treatment.

Cons

Must be the stingiest company in the planet. Good to be money savvy, but it is too ridiculous to even describe. Never expected a multi-billion dollar company -- making 100K every 3 seconds -- looking for dirty savings upsets employees who are molded to believe that is ok! Work is purely execution driven. No scope for RnD. Management folks have big time attitude: "I dont take my paltry 12-days of vacation, so you should not". They dont care because everyone wants to get on to Apple so they dont bother about folks who are unhappy. Employees are "indirectly" expected to be wired all the time - no worklife balance.
