It's the hardest you'll ever work, the most you'll ever be challenged, amongst the smartest people you'll ever work with
Pros: Apple is still the foremost case study in dedication to product and customers. While base salary and bonus are market-level, stock benefits are top of market.
Cons: It's all in the eye of beholder: talk to any current or former Apple employees and they will say the same thing, which is that there is very little work/life balance, yet they love and are inspired by what they work on. Travel is frequent.
