Pros

Tons of resources, lots of really smart people. You're working on products that millions of customers will eventually have in their hands.

Cons

Lots of type-A people you have to work with, definitely feel like a cog in the wheel. Company doesn't make you feel like you're important. Lots of corporate bureaucracy and disorganization as far as management goes - very much figure it out on your own type of attitude. Poor leadership because of lack of training and promoting people who are hard-nosed and many times lack empathy and people skills. Very little mentorship and career advancement opportunities, and poor work life balance for the most part.

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
