Pros

-Good engineering development/learning opportunities with really bright people. -Very good work-life balance. -Generous employee discount program. -Freedom to work on a lot of different stuff that interests you, genuinely fun. -Culture, while overdone at times, creates real employee camaraderie.

Cons

-Poor/slow career development....low turnover and many lifers means you have to 'get in line'. -People at the top are part of the 'old guard' and don't truly understand their customers. -Average compensation. -Company has a distorted self-image and can be too clever for it's own good. -Employee outings/appreciation are usually nothing special and/or paid for by the employees. If all you want to do is tinker and build stuff, you'll like it here. If you're looking for career progression look elsewhere.

Pros

Great team to work with. All of them are passionate about the work and have outstanding individual design skills that reflect in the products they release.

Cons

The team is getting smaller and smaller, much like some reviews, the company seems to care less about the future development.
