Not what it used to be

Pros

Free drinks in the break room. Catered lunch meetings. Free on site gym.

Cons

Confidence in the company has eroded as the smartphone market reached maturity. Canceled raises and bonuses in the spring. No guarantees fall will bring anything. As expected, attrition is the result, as good engineers are leaving, and the mediocre ones are staying.

Pros

Situated in the beautiful city of San Diego Reasonable pay, though not the best.

Cons

Everyone is always busy so its difficult to get help when you need it. Very difficult for someone new to get to speed as there is no formal training, knowledge sharing. Not a good place to learn if you are early in your career. There are company wide trainings for certain things - but it is very difficult to find time to attend those. Very aggressive, requiring long hours.
