Pros

Benefits and the people there are friendly

Cons

WIthin iTunes there are too many cooks (cooks in the kitchen). Most of these cooks are not really thinking about UI but rather reacting to it. Half the solution they come up with are half assed and most of them are yes-people, Agreeing with whatever executives want and executives don't necessarily have their hands in the problems to know whats really going on. The teams that work with iTunes, and there are many, all have something to say about the product. No one here at iTunes can get them to all agree. iTunes is NOT a collaborative environment. You get told what to do. Work here if you enjoy political headaches!

Pros

High pace, high energy, change is the norm. Working for a successful company is exillaratimg. Proud of what we do and how we do it. A strong identity, hence clear directions. Room to express yourself. Clever and motivated people. And my kids love the Apple T-shirts.

Cons

Very demanding, without time to step back and take some distance. As soon as any process or project reaches maturity, we change all over again and start from scratch. Hard to build on experience under such conditions. Tiring, to not say exhausting sometimes.

Not worth your time and talent

Pros

Relatively good benefits for full time employees. Salary is OK, not great - definitely not proportional to the unstated amount of physical labor one endures on the job.

Cons

They will suck you dry: - no respect for your time - must work on godforsaken hours, ex. 1:30 to 10:30PM with no weekends off - must stand ALL day long - majority of other Geniuses have joint problems - no balance between respect for employee professional needs and need to satisfy customers - most of the time "bad" customers are rewarded for tantrums and the like, often at the expense of employee's time, effort, and dignity - very little potential for professional development - you're better off investing a year or two developing your coding and network skills and working for an IT company
