Recommend. But know which division you join!!
Pros: - Comparable Benefits,
- Apple stocks doing reasonably well, so RSU value increases
- Upto 10k matching  for charity,  
- 401k funds available to select are good, 
- Apple brand on your resume, 
- Apple products at discount for self, family and friends.
Cons: I work for IS&T and my review and opinion is not for entire Apple.
- Its very hierarchical with outdated management style. Engineering managers with poor people management skills are in plenty here. They cannot be trusted and they make no effort to build trust. Don't expect a transparent appraisal process like in other big league companies. 
- There is no standard work culture, compensation and rewards across all divisions. It varies very widely. Knowing about the hierarchy, their products and its visibility are important if someone is planning to join. In general, products that are used by end users of apple products have high visibility and people work there get well rewarded for good work. Its better to avoid auxiliary or products made for internal customers. They have very tight budget and rewards are hard to come. Hence lack of transparency and silly politics.
- This is of least concern, but if you are a foodie, then you will be disappointed. No free food. Food in Cafeteria is average and expensive.
