Very innovative culture, supportive teammates and management, run like a series of small startups instead of global company, makes it very easy to take ownership of work.
Cons
secrecy got in the way of productivity.
Advice to Management
make inter-team relationships easier to establish.
Incredible smart, intelligent people who all exhibit a "can do" attitude. Most everyone will go out of their way to ensure you have the information necessary to succeed with your job.
Cons
Depending on what department you're working in. There may be strict deadlines with a minimal amount of time to complete the project.
Advice to Management
Not all managers see the importance of working with other teams in a cross functional way. Sometimes 5 minutes of their time up front could save hours of their time later on down the road. I don't think this is specific to Apple though. It truly is a place that is what you make of it.
