Pros

Quite simply, you make some of the best and most talked about products in the world. Superb upper management, and a great place to learn and develop. Culture is very diverse, and you work with some absolutely brilliant people. Ultimately, you go home everyday knowing you work for a company whose products really get people excited.

Cons

Slightly older demographic, Low churn rate can make it hard to rise quickly. Most large scale design and strategy decisions are left entirely out of the hands of engineers, which can be frustrating. Aggressive culture can be off-putting to some. Work-life balance can get out of whack after high profile deadlines.

Pros

Your work gets in the hands of millions. When you win the occasional battle to get something done right, you can help a lot of people.

Cons

Apple is hyper-secretive, which is both frustrating in principle and make it difficult to do your job. (1) A lot of wheels get reinvented every week. (2) The feeling that you (as an engineer) aren't trusted *really* bothers me. Besides, all the leaks come from marketing and ops anyway.
