Pros

The most inspirational work you can ever hope to find. Facilities and environment is fantastic. Support to employees is phenomenal. 401k matching, Health, educational services are bar none. Regular grants in cash and RSUs for performance. Staying at the company long-term has phenomenal benefits. Co-workers are all highly motivated interesting individuals who are often a great pleasure to be around and learn from. Everybody is (generally) happy and proud to be there, to do the work they do.

Cons

As with any company, not all work is purely inspirational and awesome. Eventually there will be monotonous drudge work. Eventually there will be politics and they may not play to you. This is to be expected with any company, especially a large company. Part of the magic of apple is that there are many autonomous groups. Your experience at Apple will depend largely on which group you find yourself in. There are great groups, and there are not-so-great groups. You may or may not find all of the bad situations you may imagine or have encountered elsewhere within these groups. You may not have much recourse against it, short of risky politics of going over your boss. HR typically does not engage in low level politics and primarily exists to protect the company from lawsuits (as with any large company).

Pros

Decent/good pay, good benefits, great 401k, product and service discount, and the opportunity to work from home. They have a full cafe and gym for employees.

Cons

Anything and everything. Countless system issues, poor/two-faced management at all levels, ZERO work life balance, you will be/are a slave working here. In the beginning the job will appear as it's the best thing there is, but over time it will affect your physical and mental health. Inter-office relationships between departments and HR make it impossible to voice your complaints - nothing gets done. You're watched/timed in EVERYTHING you do, from going to the restroom to how you should be documenting your cases. Management give no positive feedback, it's always nitpicking and finger-pointing. The products are great but the entire company is operated by a management with poor decision making that affects the employees and the customers. You can encounter cool employees but nobody can be trusted - employees are often there to pretend to be cool with you so they snitch on you later. To an outsider looking in, it's a great company and people imagine that it's a dream to work for but on the inside it's a completely different story. Working here may fit some people's lifestyle in the beginning but that will change over time. It's getting worse with more changes that allows apple to have more control over its employees.
