Pros

The company treats you well with benefits, on-site facilities, perks and discounts. A vast majority of teams are working on something new and exciting. Tim Cook is making Apple a leading example of what a company should be to its customers (privacy), its country and environment (energy / climate).

Cons

If your team is working on something new and exciting, it can be a little too exciting. The pace seems to gradually increase but never level off. The "next thing's" features are more important that the bugs-in-the-wild you desperately want to fix for customers. Since Steve Jobs left, there doesn't feel to be someone at/near the top who has their finger on the pulse of the products. Yes, Steve was intense at times but he really knew what a product or service was supposed to be. It's hard to take more than 2 weeks of vacation at once without giving a lot of notice (say 4+ months). It's nearly impossible to take more than 3 weeks of earned vacation at once. HR, in my experience, is poorly managed and has high turnover. It took 3 months to get me an offer in 2005 and HR failed to give me an exit interview despite it being standard operating procedure.

Pros

The really does want to make great products. It is a good place for heads down engineers that just want to worry about technical problems.

Cons

This is a big company with a lot of mature groups. Management handles most non-low level decisions, and often neglects to give senior engineers the information to do a senior level job.
