Pros

Apple is a very collaborative environment, which is something I love in a workplace. People are constantly exchanging ideas, asking questions when they pass each other in the halls, etc. Compared to another well-known tech company I worked at, where nearly all communication was done via email and you could go an entire day without saying a word to anyone, this is heaven.

Cons

Sometimes you can end up working long hours, and it can be difficult to move up from within the company.

Advice to Management

Think about promoting from within more. It is a huge frustration among engineers and low-level managers that the default thinking is to hire someone from outside rather than to promote.
