Pros

Apple makes some of the best loved products on the planet which makes every employee proud to be there. It's also great to have a Silicon Valley atmosphere which isn't just geared towards single people, meaning colleagues respect your desire to go home and see your family/friends.

Cons

The secrecy is what makes Apple work. But at the same time it means that you often have no idea what's coming around the corner, even for products you're working on. Apple also doesn't care about developing young talent, so if you're looking to be coddled or given any type of structure, this is not the place for you.

Pros

Within the design aspect of things, despite it's secretive appearance, Apple is very open place for ideas and communication. Proper respect and compensation is given to those who come up with good ideas. Apple is also a very dynamic and growing company with opportunities for further professional development and inter-company shifts. Co-workers are very friendly and open to your choice of lifestyle and personality. There is very little room for rivalry or friction between people as the goal is to provide an environment that focuses on product development and not merely coming to work everyday. And I'm trying to hit the 100 word mark so I'll just write this at the end.

Cons

Occasional politics. Big drain on your time, hard to balance work and life.

Pros

A company with an inspiration, incredibly dynamic and energetic. Something new almost every week. We are certainly not bored, and often very proud of what we do -or don't do. This company definitely gives you more than a salary.

Cons

You know nothing or very little about what's coming up, and they will consciously let you run in the wall instead of telling you. Be prepared to enter in religion : the way we are organized (!) is so unique that, to some extent, what you learn at Apple is hardly applicable elsewhere. And, yes, we do have a tendency to be fascinated by our products...
