Pros

Lean staff means more responsibility for individuals. Amazing sense of pride for working at Apple, even when company wasn't doing so well. People always impressed that you work for Apple.

Cons

Lean staffing means there's usually no backup. Heard many stories of senior folks who were burning out but there was no one to take over for them. The "crunch time" for OS development could be long, with folks eating dinner on campus for multiple months straight.

Pros

Working at Apple means you get to work on some of the coolest products. These are products that people really love. The structure is quite flat, so you will routinely find yourself in a meeting with engineers, middle manager, and VPs. It's also nice to work on a product, where the BOM cost is not always the main focus. Apple will spend money on whatever equipment or resources are required to get the job done.

Cons

Sweatshop through and through. They like to keep teams very lean, the hiring process is so gruelling that few make it through. This makes for very long days, usually 12-14 hours. Very confrontational interactions between teams, by this I mean the normally collaborative atmosphere between teams is more like in-laws fighting at Christmas. Traveling to China 6+ times a year.
