Apple Senior Software Engineer in Cupertino, CA:   (Past Employee - 2008)

Pros

Everyone knows where you work and they think it's awesome.
You get to play with all of the latest software and toys, and work for one of the most profitable companies in the world.

Cons

Apple is very secretive. It can be difficult to know what's going on ahead of time, and then all of the sudden, you need to shift and adapt. Schedules are very rough and change a lot. Releases, and crunch-time seems omni-present. It can be overwhelming.
If your strengths do not include constant adaptation to continuous change, then Apple will frustrate you.

Advice to Senior Management

Trust your employees more than you do with company secret information. Things would run a lot smoother.
