Pros

- Great name on your resume - The experience of traveling the world (Asia) and managing complex supply chains - Decent opportunities if you want to sign your life away

Cons

- Engineering work is done very fast and sloppy - Processes are never followed from project to project, which created inefficiencies - Work-life balance LOL, kiss your evenings goodbye Sunday-Friday nights and if you're in Ops, you'll travel 35% of the year. - Great pay but once you break down the hours necessary to do your job well, the pay isn't so great. - Hobbies? You must mean my hobbies are to work and try to maintain what I have left of my out of work relationships.

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
