Pros

Coolness factor of Apple, less so after Jobs left. Ok pay(below market rates in my opinion though). Looks great on a resume. If you can get on a team that is a cool project then you can have a lot of fun, there is a lot of projects that arent really "cool" or "fun" though and you are kinda considered in a lesser position when you are on one of those. Stock price made me a ton of money cause I started there when it was really low, I dont know how it would work out these days. Had my own private office, I wish I had that at the places ive worked since haha.

Cons

Marginal pay increases even with stellar performance review. The general feeling that you should be "lucky" to work there because it is Apple. Lots of slow processes in the teams I was involved with. Org changes happened a lot. I witnessed a large layoff(half of a dept, over 60 people, when the company was absolutely thriving, but that product wasnt). I was tossed around managers, because of re-orgs. Food wasnt free when I worked there, and it wasnt that good, pretty repetitive. Feeling of being treated as not part of the "in crowd" if you aren't working on a top tier project.

Pros

The smartest, most talented group of people I've ever worked with. Their passion for making everything the best it can be goes well beyond their products.

Cons

There is a high burnout rate. Months of sleepless nights and obsessing over the smallest things. Some departments rule by fear.

Pros

This review is not a reflection of Apple as a company but rather the US Enterprise group. The company as a whole has great benefits and perks. I've also heard very positive things about other departments/divisions.

Cons

This entire Enterprise organization from the inside sales group to the field is mismanaged. The management team has been in place for a long time and is best described as complacent. The work environment is both hostile and demeaning. I would strongly recommend avoiding this organization.
