Pros

-No work outside of business hours -Solid time off policies -If you don't like challenging you may enjoy this

Cons

-Arrogant management with so many smoke and mirrors deployed you would think they are running for political office -The amount of whispering and gossip that occurs I have not seen since high school -Lack of advancement opportunities, the more skilled positions are outside hires -All the feedback received is in a manner similar to an assembly line and very impersonal

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
