Pros

The prestige of being with a company that is still out on the cutting edge, someplace that while fresh and exciting also has stability as a company. It may not be like the Wild Wild West days of the Valley at Apple, but it has moved into middle age more gracefully than some other companies have. They've done a good job of not throwing out all the perks as they aim for profitability, and the management team over the last decade seems not to have put a foot wrong in some time - if nothing else, the stock performance alone vouches for the the choices made.

Cons

The biggest problem comes if you're not in a group that is contributing directly to current projects. If you don't have the visibility, if your group is in some more pedestrian area like support or fulfillment, you won't get your share of resources or headcount. If you're not located on the Loop, and you're not turning out new product, be prepared to be an afterthought in the mind of the company at large. It's also extraordinarily difficult to move around within the organization; it almost seems easier to leave and come back than to apply internally for new positions in other groups.

Pros

Producing products of good quality and refinement that make technology accessible to even non techies. It's a thrill to walk into an Apple retail store and see all the smiles. In general, people care about the work they do. It's not just a zombie 9-to-5 job. It's a place where you can really take pride in the end product, assuming it's not canceled.

Cons

It's a secret. I can't tell you. Also slightly lower pay relative to other high tech companies. Benefits are average. Main campus is overcrowded and a tourist attraction. Hiring has skyrocketed and kinda makes you think about the quality of those being hired (no evidence, just makes one think about it).

Pros

a truly innovative company - great people - change the world

Cons

lack of good leadership in Marketing (product marketing, corporate communication and marcom). People never get credit or praise. Plus, everyone is drinking the Kool-Aid
