Fantastic place to work.
Pros: The people with whom I work are incredibly dedicated, competent, and feel a tremendous ownership and pride in the work that they do. There's an intense desire to do good work and to do work that our customers will love. In addition, the fact that the work that we do at Apple is seen and used (and hopefully, loved) by so many people is an immense source of satisfaction.
Cons: The hours are long, the salaries are not fantastic, and the benefits (health, 401k) are fairly average. I wouldn't rate these as necessarily downsides, but just areas where Apple doesn't shine.
