Pros

you get a free set of headphones and it sounds like a cool company

Cons

Lack of executive management intervention to ensure cross functional collaboration. A certain amount of butt covering is expected at every company but when it results in losing revenue through fear of highlighting and addressing systematic problems then you've a serious problem on your hands...something that Apple will address immediately. There is no work, life balance and bullying is the management style of choice, huge staff turnover which means they have to hire overpriced consultants to do the work their employees got sick of doing ; staff member from LA sent to Dublin to set up international office had all 4 direct reports resign in less than 10 months. Stock options for only executive management tells you all you need to know about the exit strategy.

Pros

-Decent pay and benefits. -Some free food. -Relaxed dress code. HOWEVER, these pros are COMPLETELY offset by the cons.

Cons

-No work-life balance. -Lack of processes & rampant chaos turn the simplest tasks into endless nightmares. -Haphazard management. -Appalling internal communication. -Dysfunctional business practices. -Poorly designed & implemented ERP system. -Some senior staff (and "DNA") came from Monster and you will notice it (see reviews for Monster).

Pros

People outside of marketing are good.

Cons

Working in the marketing department is like going back to the worst high school you can imagine; everyone is in cliques and everyone talks about each other behind their backs. The leadership is a boys club and complete joke. They run around hanging out with artists and athletes to feel cool while they delegate insane amounts of work with no clear direction. Money is so completely mismanaged that Apple would be appalled if they truly audited the department.
