Even though the pay could be better, it's still a great place to work!
Pros: Great brand to be associated with.  Really good team of pears in entire company and division.  Tremendous products and a feeling that we are the leading company in technology.  Good compensation/benefits.  Solid resume bullets.  Sense of pride in what we are all doing!  Nice perks like occasional free iPods/iPhones and discounts on our products.
Cons: Job security is sometimes lacking.  No pay raises are the rule of thumb - pay increase only comes with promotion or movement to another department or division.  Some senior managers are disconnected from our jobs and unwilling to listen to feedback.  Our goals can be inconsistent or sometimes unattainable.  Layoffs happen without rhyme or reason even when the company is doing well.
