Pros

high-tech, cool factor, tons of toys, shiny modern offices, young and mature crowd, quiet and safe neighborhood near plenty of good place to have lunch .

Cons

Boss was a good engineer who was promoted way to early so had NO people management skills whatsoever. I left after being tired of hearing him scream at us, including senior engineers he would get angry at when he was under stress. Boss was unable to manage any kind of stress even simple pressure coming from junior always nagging.

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
