      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.

      A great company for customers; not so much for employees

      Pros

      A highly intelligent workforce, great place to challenge yourself in many ways, very ethical company with pretty good pay and benefits.

      Cons

      Like many large companies, it's easy to find yourself in a "hamster wheel." Leadership promotes to management roles primarily based on ability to do a specific job well as opposed to an ability to manage people well. The company will always put its interest first before the advancement of a single employee.

      Pros

      Decent work/life balance. Good perks. Good pay. Great people, lots of smart people.

      Cons

      Lots of people seem to love working at Apple. I can't say I understand why. To me, my job is boring. They don't value creativity or insight, they value carrying out the tasks that management sets for you. The company's priorities don't make a whole lot of sense, either, wrt to how resources are allocated. Micromanagement seems to be the norm. There doesn't seem to be a sense of urgency in some areas, while other areas are on the "death march" from release to release. Secrecy between teams is irritating and leads to less innovation and poorer quality.
