Pros

They throw $$ at you The campus is pretty The recruiter will butter you up

Cons

The kool aid goes down real easy at first. Siloed, rigid working groups and projects. Overspecialization that breads complacency so people get “stuck” there with titles that do not represent what is left of their skill set. Unguaranteed discretionary bonuses used to “motivate” team members encouraging a gross culture with untracked favors. The culture might be better in other parts of the org. Unclear leadership values leave groups out of sync with hearsay and name dropping left running things. Territorial and at times very unqualified design management. Poor internal talent management.

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
