Pros

Really great products to work on, exciting opportunities and smart interesting people to work with. There is a strong culture of focusing on the end-user experience and not irrationally obsessing with features/technology.

Cons

It's a big company, so there are the general the rules and bureaucracy you don't have at, say, a start-up. There is a strong Apple-focused culture and loyalty which becomes both a strength and a weakness.

Pros

- Getting to work on the latest and greatest wireless gadgets - iPhone/iPads - Getting the opportunity to work on latest wireless technologies such as LTE, IMS, SIP - Opportunity to work with multiple groups of people - QA, dev, product/project management, external vendors, hardware, network operators - Being able to build products that people LOVE to use

Cons

- Work/life balance is not there - Apple doesn't necessarily groom their employees to learn a specific skillset, they will simply hire someone who already has the skillset - There is no one to help you out initially and it is extremely easy to get lost in all the confusion
