Right for the wrong reasons
Pros: - (subjective) As each of the 'most desireable' FANG companies has their own culture, Apple has theirs. Its a bit more low-key, professional and relaxed.
- after the initial shock of "I work at Apple now" fades away, work is work and your satisfaction/stress level will vary depending on your role, department, skill set and organization. I transferred between 3 different organizations - some very political, others like family. Sometimes within an org, 1 managers style (understanding, laid back - just expects quality work on time etc) would be a complete opposite of my coworkers under another manager (9-5 run like an agency)
- if you're ambitious there is opportunity - but also know there is a sautés quo and you are taking a risk. its up to you whether or not its worth it.
- looks great on your resume
Cons: Alot of politics, I've seen entire agencies brought in for single projects where the end result was scraped. I've seen managers hire relatives and Apple outsources their 'investigations' department who get paid by how many people they accuse of violating policies.
