Pros

Lots of cross-functional interaction. Work on the #1 products that influence the lives of hundreds of millions. Many great managers especially at the topmost levels. Plenty of smart people. A "cool" atmosphere with beer bashes and famous bands coming to visit. All the comforts of a large company, yet maintains an energy of execution similar to many start-ups.

Cons

Some dinosaur rotten apples in middle management that are nothing more than political animals. There can also be territorial disputes over who-does-what that are usually not properly resolved from the highest levels. People who need to talk to each other are sometimes overwhelmed and have no time, so communication often suffers. The culture of secrecy is often frustrating.

Pros

I have been working in IS&T just over an year. When I joined the company I was pretty skeptical about this Apple wing following the reviews about it before but after the first year I am pretty darn proud to have actually joined it. The people I work with are top performers and all ENGINEERS. We have the highest engineering strength in the IS&T Org. which was not the case a few years back. This has improved both employee motivation and deliverables. IS&T is now more engineering focussed than ever which is evident from the number of Apple employees in the team now. ... and the compensation is one thing at start that you expect good from company like Apple but to get an year end stock bonus, cash bonus and salary increase and all together is just top notch. Also earlier in the year all employees got BEATS headphones in the annual Working hours are fine too, yes ! you work hard at times but thats just part of dev cycle. Nothing out of ordinary.

Cons

No freebies, No Free Food - Yes we do get small parties here and there but I think Apple expects to spend out of your pocket to cover for it. They have stopped giving Apples in cafeteria :) ( Well that one is just due to drought )
