Apple Operations politics
Pros: Working with a few very bright and creative people.
Cons: I believe that certain directors in Apple's Manufacturing Operations will burn out an employee to the point where the employee's ability to function is seriously impaired.  The director can then drive them out of the company and get someone fresher. 
I believe that they often target an employee early as a candid for removal.  Even a good performer who falls out of favor politically can look forward to intense scrutiny for many months or years.
