      Pros

      Solid pay, interesting engineering challenges. There's plenty of smart people that you can learn a lot from.

      Cons

      Engineering direction is determined by people who curry the most favor from leadership. Unless you are an ICT5/6 your opinions don't hold very much weight in debate. Promotions in the higher levels of engineering is almost entirely luck based. High visibility projects that are required for demonstrating impact needed for promotions aren't available for everyone.

      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
