Pros

high-tech, cool factor, tons of toys, shiny modern offices, young and mature crowd, quiet and safe neighborhood near plenty of good place to have lunch .

Cons

Boss was a good engineer who was promoted way to early so had NO people management skills whatsoever. I left after being tired of hearing him scream at us, including senior engineers he would get angry at when he was under stress. Boss was unable to manage any kind of stress even simple pressure coming from junior always nagging.

Great place to work.

Pros

There is no "busy-work" at Apple. Everything is done for very good reasons -- there is no wasted work. You're proud of what you do, and people you meet outside of Apple really care about what you do.

Cons

Potentially long hours. Long lines at the cafeteria? But other than that, there's no apparent downside of working at Apple.
