      Great products, low salary, long work hours

      Pros

      Apple has some great products to work on. Most of the engineers are very talented and passionate about their work. There are many opportunities to learn from other developers. Since there are so few developers, each one holds a huge responsibility, so there is some pride in ownership. You will not be a "Cog" though you may be treated like one.

      Cons

      Apple pays a low salary relative to the same job at other companies. Engineers work very long hours with very little to no reward. Weekend work is assumed for months at a time. Often the management takes no account for the engineering staff or time required to complete a project when picking a release date.

      Apple can be a great place to work, be prepared to 'make your own way' and drive your career there.

      Pros

      Great products, as sales person its wonderful to be able to represent the best, campus life is good (great food, beautiful surroundings, and the occasional party/fun activity at the main lawn). Compensation and overall benefits (matching 401K, stock purchase when the stock is rising :-)) are definitely competitive. Smart people and overall the company feels 'well run', they deliver great products somewhat on-time, they market these products well. Management seems relatively flat and so you can know/meet the top execs and that is cool.

      Cons

      There is this overall 'secrecy' feel that is weird - and I think it permeates many many aspects of the company from engineering to marketing to sales - so you are often wondering if you are supposed to know something and not talk about it, etc. and it makes for a sometimes uncomfortable environment. Not all mangers are great (some are egomaniacs intent on self-promotion and 'kissing up' and/or micromangers) and if one of them is your boss, bummer for you. Work hours can be significant (its not an HP 9-5 type of place to work).
