Apple gave me quite an opportunity and experience overall.
Pros: Casual work environment.  Management accessibility.  Opportunities exist.  Dynamic environment.  Never boring.  Great cultural diversity.  Pride in products and innovation.  Prevalence of team effort.  Generally great co-workers.
Cons: Substandard compensation.  Poor work/personal life balance.  Constant focus on whether your departments is considered one of the privileged, company-essential ones.  Benefits have been considerably downsized.
