Pros
Almost everyone in engineering at Apple is very qualified and capable, and everyone wants to do the right thing for our customers and the company. The engineering campus is modern and nice. The cafeteria is quite good as well and is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There's no requirement that you be in at work by a certain time. Engineers have a fair amount of control over what they work on and how it's designed.
Cons
Apple is very compartmentalized and this secrecy affects and sometimes hurts Apple and the employees who work in different engineering areas of the company. You're not going to get filthy rich working at Apple on stock or options, but will get reasonably compensated.
