Pros
*Excellent colleagues and workplace culture; some of the most talented and brightest people I've ever been around. * Opportunity to work with the designer behind Beats by Dr. Dre, the Co-Founder of Guitar Hero, whose accomplishments and accolades speak for themselves and has earned them reputations as some of the best in their respective industries. *Successful company - entering retail and enterprise partnerships, improving digital traction, depth of pipeline, etc.* Investors and founders are some of the most well-connected individuals I have ever come across; if I'd ever wanted a personal or professional reference, I can count on these guys! *Great workplace culture, vacation policy, benefits and food.
Cons
*Recent layoffs were tough on everyone, but made overall sense in light of the refined company focus and desire to extend the company's runway.
*Too much emphasis on credentials, pedigree - I don't want to hear about another person who went to Stanford, Tsinghua, who has his/her PhD, who knows who, etc.
*Overhired ahead of product adoption - staffed up a large team before the product even entered significant-scale retail channels.
