Pros

The compensation, benefits, and overall company offerings are top notch. The products and projects we work on are interesting and are seen and used by many. Being surrounded by many highly intelligent, motivated individuals pushes us to be better and gain more skills as we develop.

Cons

Work/life balance periodically gets skewed during deadlines, which can get stressful. Opportunities for career advancement are not always provided and many managers are too eager to "build empires" rather than focus on making their existing direct reports more successful.

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
