Pros

Medical Benefits Stock Purchase Plan Star Trek like campus and facilities - this is where the money goes.

Cons

What is work - life balance? Weekends? Ha only for Senior Management. Asking time off? Try competing with 1000+ other people asking for the same day off - good luck. Customers walk all over you because they are entitled and conditioned to get what they want. Managers and co-workers who are materialistic, entitled, fake nice, better than you. No management trainee programs unless you are a good kiss up or a buddy. No growth opportunities, get in line, there's a lot of people in line here. The pay is not commensurate to afford the Austin cost of living. Stressful, thankless job No rewards for doing your job well, getting a satisfactory/meets expectations job performance review is the best you'll ever get, exceeds expectations is IMPOSSIBLE. Management acknowledges this and treats it like a running joke.

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
