Pros

Inspiring work environment. Did not feel cutthroat at all like you hear in the news. Great campus and great people. Boss was very clear with his expectations and internal competitions were fun.

Cons

It is definitely corporate, it does not have a startup culture like some claim. That being said its one of the best corporate cultures I've ever experienced. There is bureaucracy but the work is rewarding and everyone I met was very friendly.

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
