Pros: Absolutely the smartest people I've ever worked with, and I've worked all over the world. They do everything they do better than anyone else. No detail is left without scrutiny. The scrutiny does not leave any room for failure which lends to their success, but doesn't allow for mistakes.
Cons: Senior management does not trust anyone, especially each other. The trickle down result is that everyone is on edge in the company. The saying is fail fast, then learn from it. But in Apple's case, it's fail once and then lose all credibility.
