Pros

Good technology, very visible company, smart people that really want to make the best products they can.

Cons

The company is too full of itself to be open to new ways of thinking. If you don't fit into Apple's culture of secrecy and paranoia (even for the next versions of products that have already been in the market for years) you won't do well. The company has grown too big to be able to innovate, and is too proud to really listen to its customers (although internally, it insists that it does). Apple is very good at believing its own hype. There are lots of corporate politics, much more than I've seen elsewhere. There is very little attention to work-life balance: expect to have much more to do than you can finish in a week.

Pros

Unique experience No waste at Apple: Things get done very lean

Cons

Company-wide culture of fear of the manager. Zero organizational agility. People at ALL levels are stuck in their jobs: There is no demotion nor promotion at Apple: You will do in 10 years from now the same job that what you were recruited for. Internal tools (mail, calendaring, intranet, expense reports, etc...) totally outdated and inefficient... Software from the XXth century in a XXIst century company
