Pros

Ability to work on some of the best hardware in the world. Ability to work from home occasionally. Excellent commuter benefits. Has a generous sick leave policy. Annual cost of living raises.

Cons

There are a whole lot of inexperienced managers here and there is no training to help them learn people management skills. They tend to promote good performers without any management skills and then don't help them obtain any. Be extremely judicious in getting onto a team that has great leadership because there is a huge inconsistency in management skills. Not really a company that appreciates and respects older, experienced folks, geared more for the 25-35 crowd. Starting salaries are low compared to other companies in silicon valley, but do give annual cost of living raises (as opposed to other companies that bring you in high but never give raises).

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
