Pros

It is still a big time, name brand company with a lot of international recognition. Apple is also continues to ride a huge amount of hype and (relatively speaking) recent business success. The stock options also made many of us multi-millionaires over a short period of time. A number of internal processes, the culture, and the people are also quite unique to Apple, and from a diversity of experience point of view, that's great exposure for one's career.

Cons

There are an unusually high number of individuals at Apple (both management and individual contributors, at various levels), who would clearly NOT be successful at any other company or period of time. But that's not the problem. The problem is that many of those individuals genuinely believe in their own talent, capabilities, and accomplishments and make ridiculous decisions based off these fundamental dillusions. Bozo cancer has also reached Stage III levels.

Pros

Very good benefits package. You get to work for a company that makes products you are proud to be associated with and use yourself. Lots of room for personal development and enrichment.

Cons

Lack of good advancement paths from the retail store to higher opportunities in the company. Lots and lots of talented individuals already work for the company, but getting to a better job is not an option for most. Pay is lower than comparable jobs outside the company.

Pros

It's Apple, and you get to be a part of it! You get to make the coolest things around.

Cons

They know you're addicted, and they'll work you to the bone. You'll get paid less, and you'll be underappreciated. If you're in a role that's traditionally underappreciated (e.g., system administration,) this can really wear on you. Everyone in the management chain is afraid of bringing bad news to Steve, so the reality of what makes it upstream is questionable sometimes. But then... it's Apple. You know it, and they know you know it, so they don't care.
