Pros

- lots of smart and really passionate people to work with, you will be challenged - most teams are small and the work you do will have an impact on the product that you are working on

Cons

- compensation and benefits are less than other similar companies in the area - long death marches to the final release or major milestone, expect to work late nights and weekends for several months before a product is shipped or before a conference

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
