      High profile, high intensity work, incredible opportunity to learn, but it can be very demanding

      Pros

      Quite simply, you make some of the best and most talked about products in the world. Superb upper management, and a great place to learn and develop. Culture is very diverse, and you work with some absolutely brilliant people. Ultimately, you go home everyday knowing you work for a company whose products really get people excited.

      Cons

      Slightly older demographic, Low churn rate can make it hard to rise quickly. Most large scale design and strategy decisions are left entirely out of the hands of engineers, which can be frustrating. Aggressive culture can be off-putting to some. Work-life balance can get out of whack after high profile deadlines.

      Apple! It really whoops a donkey's ass!

      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.
