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

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
