Pros: Working at Apple means that the things you work on get into the hands of hundreds of millions of people, literally. It's a lot of pressure to get things right and drives one to do the best work of their lives. Two-plus years later, I'm still blown away by the talent and creativity of people I work with.
Cons: It's a lot of work. Teams are usually strapped for resources and under pressure to deliver on strict timelines, leading to high stress and long hours at certain times during the year.
