Pros

Great work/life balance: the only Bay Area Hi-Tech Company still offering 9/80 schedule (or alternative Friday off, only Oil and Gas industry offers that nowadays). Good benefits designed towards long-term employee retention. Very low attrition rate.

Cons

Company lack of decision or slow in decision. Accountability very low. Not very good at executing outside licensing business, especially hardware.
