Pros

Great benefits, fantastic knowledge-sharing, relatively flat hierarchy, a true sense of community, a perpetually-rewarding work environment, incredible sense of cross-company cohesion, nice perks on merchandise and hardware, great relationships with your immediate management

Cons

HR makes contradictory statements and claims, HR makes terrible, short-sighted decisions, lack of communication between senior management and lower levels, inflexible full-time scheduling, many conflicts between work and personal life, people can and are fired instantly, job performance is mostly irrelevant unless you are in sales

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
