Pros

The challenges are unparalleled. The environment is fast-paced and quirky. Cool cool people abound! The Marcom folks have unequaled taste in hipster music and the latest fashion trends. It's APPLE! What more could I possibly say?! The cafeteria is awesome, too (especially the sushi!).

Cons

I would say that there are two. The first is that the work/life balance really *can* suck. Part of this is an individual employee's responsibility -- you need to fend for yourself and unplug when you can. Part of it, however, is a culture of workaholics and burning out. The other downside is the top-heavy management and proliferation of needless meetings and email. It's a drag on everyone's time and a constant annoyance.

Pros

You get to work alongside some of the brightest, most energetic people in the industry in an environment where creativity is encouraged. Apple really knows how to hire. You can feel proud of what your company does and the products it creates. You get the feeling of working for a startup within a large, established company.

Cons

Compensation is well below industry standard. No stock options unless you're management level or greater. Profit sharing is apparently non-existent. Even though the company is doing well, you don't get to take some of that success home with you. If you're not directly working on a major product, it's very easy to feel unappreciated.
