Apple Retail (Cupertino HQ) - great company, strange culture
Pros: Very bright co-workers, dedication to higher goals, commitment to quality, the front line people in the stores are great.
Cons: Senior management was infiltrated by retail clothing managers who did not understand technology, were very focused on the fashion they wore each day and their primary skill was often an ability to play court politics.

There is also an almost cult like self-improvement culture. Except senior managers (director level) don't apply it to themselves. So everyone below them should be open to "feedback" at all times, but not if you're in a management role because then you're showing vulnerability and how would that look?
