Pros

Work with some of the smartest and best engineers in the field, and one of the most competent senior management in terms of technology.

Cons

Management can be personality-driven and chaotic. There is practically zero support for career development – basically, sink or swim. There's too much of a churn and burn mentality with regards to staff retention.

Advice to Management

How you treat people who have devoted a substantial amount of time at Apple (say, 5+ years) can strongly affect whether Apple is viewed as a long-term career option or a nice highlight on the resume.
