Pros

Size. Apple is run like a bunch of small companies (work groups). When your job gets old and boring – and they all eventually do – it is easy to move within the company to get a fresh outlook without having to change employers completely. Likewise, if you need to stretch or improve your skill set, there are plenty of opportunities for advancement.

Cons

There is no room for mediocrity at Apple. If you're not an "A" performer, it will become apparent all too soon, and you'll be down the road at Google.

Advice to Management

Keep the spirit alive.
