Pros

One of the most interesting companies to work at in the Valley. Individual contributions count. Cool hardware products, great software products, smart people, fantastic stock price ;-). Innovation is something that we actually do, rather than just talk about. Plenty of opportunity to work on different products and get some job variation.

Cons

Benefits good, but not as good as they could be. The product secrecy gets to some people. Insufficient stock compensation for lower-grade employees.

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
