Pros

A company with an inspiration, incredibly dynamic and energetic. Something new almost every week. We are certainly not bored, and often very proud of what we do -or don't do. This company definitely gives you more than a salary.

Cons

You know nothing or very little about what's coming up, and they will consciously let you run in the wall instead of telling you. Be prepared to enter in religion : the way we are organized (!) is so unique that, to some extent, what you learn at Apple is hardly applicable elsewhere. And, yes, we do have a tendency to be fascinated by our products...

Pros

Apple is an exciting place work if you love to WORK and love the STRESS. Great people to work with if they dont' end up throw you under the bus for their own benefits.

Cons

The logistics group that I am with is down right the worst. Not only the managers (regardless at what level) are incompetent. Most of the team members are also incompetent. They are just getting by. There are some dead weight, but the management team is too incompetent to get an action out of these people. Too much backstabbing. No team work. People that you work with will "throw you under the bus" whenever they can. You get punished by your manager for not participating screwing other team. There is no feedback on your performance. Just punishments. You learn very quickly not to trust anyone. If you are dealing with the group in Cupertino, you better know how to kiss up because the big guy is the GOD and he is the only one in this world knows logistics.

Pros

Apple is a company that continuously pushes the envelope. It is a lot of fun to work for a company that produces such innovative products. I have worked on many development projects, and get to see my products used by many millions of people. It is really wonderful to be out walking around and see something that you've built in people's hands. The CEO is a very charismatic leader, and is able to whip crowds into a frenzy. Our product release have been compared to Hollywood premieres! I've been at events where I've been able to meet stars that I would never normally see. I get to work with some of the nicest, most creative people on earth.

Cons

Work-life balance is non-existent. You must give your all for the company. Many people end up divorced when working at Apple. Want a vacation? Sorry, not now. Not ever. Apple thinks of employees as "disposable". They burn people out, and discard their empty shells.
