Pros

Great products with employee discounts, competitive pay, good benefits, ability to work from home, a great place to get experience.

Cons

The biggest con is the work/life balance. Expect to work during all holidays if you work in customer support. This is something that has become more and more frequent through the last few years. Also expect you take call/chat/email one after the other with little breather in between and have this last for months. Expect to be so burned out that you end up taking a medical leave because of it. You will also deal with absent management who take frequent vacations and have backfills fill in for them. You may also deal with not being paid properly and having to wrestle with HR to get it corrected.

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
