Loved the company, wished for better balance
Pros: Just being able to say that I worked at Apple was pretty cool.  Work was interesting and challenging.  Didn't really have time to take a breath between projects.  I liked the feeling of achieving some pretty hefty goals in a heroic time frame.  Great sense of accomplishment.  Good to see things that I have worked on be successful in the marketplace.
Cons: Biggest challenge was balancing work and home life.  The pace of the company is better suited to people in the early part of their career.  As someone who now has a young family, career has taken a back seat.  Unfortunately, I couldn't balance my changing priorities with my job.  I would love to be back at Apple, but I cherish being able to have dinner with my kids every night.
