Work because you believe in the company
Pros: The overall culture is great. We've got a great leader in Tim Cook and for someone who truly loves the products we make, being close to the action is fantastic. Not to mention the wonderful employee discounts.
Cons: The money is not too great. It might even be slightly less than competitive. Your work life depends highly on your immediate colleagues and the people you work with. Even if you pretty much embody Apple's core values, being in a team where people simply want to pass the time will make your life miserable. Oh and you can't escape office politics. The performance review system leaves much to be desired. Work life balance can be good but you end up working overtime most days because everyone does and it doesn't leave a good impression if you're always heading home before everyone else.
