Big company with both good & bad
Pros: I've worked @Apple for almost 5 years. It is a very challenging place to work with. People around you are all talented and very smart. If you like to take challenges, it is the place. You can learn a lot about iOS/OS X knowledge depends which teams you are in.
Opportunities along the career path varies between managers. Some manager really cares about the team and willing to growth with them. Some managers just don't care and treat team as labors.
Cons: Always work over expectation means long working hours; especially when the new product will be launched. No free food is really something we would expect in Silicone Valley. The food quality degrades recently or the price raised. Work/Life balance is not as great to people who has family. No clear company direction is another big hit for past few years. The whole company atmosphere is now heavily driven by the capital.
