Pros

Cool products and you learn a lot.

Cons

12 hour work day are more valued by management, than actual creativity and delivering. Good luck getting promoted working 8 hours a day. Too many design changes, management never says NO to ID so engineers are constantly being steamrolled into making risky changes with no changes to the schedule. Garbage culture. Can't even get a decent water spicket to fill your water bottle (constantly broken). Fruit and bagels are the only free food (garbage).

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
