Pros

Absolutely the smartest people I've ever worked with, and I've worked all over the world. They do everything they do better than anyone else. No detail is left without scrutiny. The scrutiny does not leave any room for failure which lends to their success, but doesn't allow for mistakes.

Cons

Senior management does not trust anyone, especially each other. The trickle down result is that everyone is on edge in the company. The saying is fail fast, then learn from it. But in Apple's case, it's fail once and then lose all credibility.

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
