      Pros

      - Some great engineers. - Product focus and attention to detail. - Work/life balance and schedule flexibility.

      Cons

      - Innovation slowed down by processes and corporate conformism. - Company seniority is very important, which sometimes discourages the best engineers from continuing to grow. - Mostly incompetent employees stick around, switching teams. It's difficult to get fired.

      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
