Pros

- Great brand name, great products, lot of glamor to working here - Lots of passionate people - Excellent employee benefits, good cafeteria

Cons

- Vicious, cut-throat, political environment, it is all about whose good side you are on. Culture of Fear permeates, it is like always walking on eggshells - Many good employees have left out of frustration - No upward mobility, no career growth potential, little opportunity given to change roles, lot of pigeonholing - HR is useless, terrible performance reviews - ZERO work/life balance, you sell your soul to the company - Intense, driven work environment, extremely stressful at all times

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
