Pros

You will learn to become better at design and attention to detail. Lots of very smart coworkers. Excellent age diversity which brings very different perspectives. Senior leadership is very admirable. Caffe Macs probably serves the best salad in California.

Cons

Long hours. Compensation/benefits are not competitive (despite what they may claim). Some skills may not be transferable. May have to deal with technical debt. Management hires fewer people than needed, which contributes to technical debt issues.

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
