Can be a good company to work for if you don’t expect to ever go anywhere with the company.
Pros: Good benefits, especially for college students.
Cons: Apple treats its employees as easily replaceable commodities. Don’t expect any loyalty from the company even after working there for over a decade. In fact, they’d rather treat new employees better and the seasoned employees, because new employees are usually still drinking the Apple Kook-aid and are still optimistic about the future. 
Don’t trust HR. Employees don’t realize that HR has a legal obligation to Apple and it’s stakeholders to protect the company and side with the company on employee issues. They are NOT looking out of the employee’s best interest. That is not their job, but they would like you to think they are. Do not confide any confidential information with. They will turn on you and defend Apple rather than admit wrong doing by the company and risk a lawsuit from an employee. I’ve seen many employees forced out of the company because HR turned on them and they became a liability. 
Apple makes it nearly impossible to advance in your career and get a decent raise. To make matters worse, if you’ve been at the company for a long time, newer, less experience employees will probably be making more money than you, because Apple doesn’t value employee retention.
